<H1>Théâtre du Nouveau Monde and The Grand Theatre</H1>Article
published in<BR><B>Canada's Stamp Details (Vol.X No 3;
July-September, 2001) </B>
<DIV align=center>
<P><IMG border=0 height=262

<P>This year, Canada Post is proud to mark the anniversaries
of two of Canada's most prestigious theatres: Montréal's
Théâtre du Nouveau Monde and London's Grand Theatre.
<P><B>THÉÂTRE DU NOUVEAU MONDE</B><BR>In 1951, the Théâtre du
Nouveau Monde was born. Six young theatre lovers joined forces
to create a cultural institution in the heart of Montréal, one
that was founded on the belief that social and political
issues could be addressed in a theatrical performance so as to
heighten the audience's spirits as well as its awareness. This
ensemble of creative artists was so passionate about the
theatre, they created a school for aspiring actors and
actresses to carry on their work.</P>
<P><B>A STARRING ROLE</B><BR>Touring first in Québec, then
across Canada and the world, the Théâtre du Nouveau Monde
quickly realized its mission to "nationalize and
internationalize, stimulate, educate and entertain." Even in
its early days, it presented works that were sometimes
controversial but always entertaining. The works of Brecht, de
Musset, Arthur Miller and Félix-Antoine Savard have kept
theatregoers coming back to Théâtre du Nouveau Monde for 50
years, making it a national institution.</P>
<P><B>THE GRAND THEATRE</B><BR>In 2001, one of Canada's oldest
theatres celebrates a century of artistic excellence. The
Grand Theatre (The Grand) in London, Ontario was built in 1901
following the fire that destroyed the Grand Opera House in
1899. Noted for its architecture as well as its stage shows,
The Grand Theatre soon became a monument to the performing
arts.</P>
<P><B>STAGE PRESENCE</B><BR>Not only has it become one of the
longest, continual live theatres in Canada, but The Grand has
passed many milestones along the way. Aside from being the
model for professional regional theatre in Canada, The Grand
was instrumental in the production of Canada's first colour
feature film in 1941, and has seen many Canadian and
international stars walk upon the stage reportedly haunted by
the ghost of theatrical entrepreneur Ambrose J. Small. The
Grand is celebrating its first century of presenting great
musicals, comedies and dramas; imagine what the next one will
hold.</P>
<P><B>ABOUT THE DESIGN</B><BR>Montréal design firm Graphème
and illustrator Marc Serre designed the stamps to celebrate
these milestones: "For the Théâtre du Nouveau Monde we
focussed on performance," says Graphème's Pierre Léonard, "we
wanted to depict the two founders [Jean Gascon and Jean-Louis
Roux] in their greatest roles," he adds. For the Grand
Theatre, the emphasis was placed on the building. "So we
featured its founder Ambrose J. Small, and as his ghost is
said to wander the theatre, it adds a touch of historical
interest too," concludes Pierre Léonard.</P>
