From modest beginnings in 1985, launched with a historical fashion show on the back lawn of “Books and Things,” our local English community theatre troupe has offered a wide range of culturally oriented activities, including full-scale theatre productions, play readings and many other events. Over the years, hundreds of volunteers have helped to make TMH the cultural institution it is today, supported by dedicated audience members who number in the thousands. 40 years is a milestone worth celebrating!

For lovers of words and books of all ages, the Association des auteurs des Laurentides is offering two free workshops (advance registration required) on Sunday, September 28, at Chalet Bellevue (in French).
“Why Tales: Inventing Stories!”
Writing workshop for children (aged 8 and over) at 10:30 with writer Madeleine Fortier.
When children ask questions about the world around them, we can answer them rationally or scientifically, or better yet, we can encourage them to come up with their own answers! During this activity, children will learn a simple method they can use later, and we will invent a story together.
“Writing a Detective Novel: How to Write a Successful Ending”
Chat and writing workshop for people aged 16 and over at 13:30 with author Maurice Jean; limited places available. After a brief presentation of his career, the host will explain the importance of the ending in a detective novel. Participants will be given a short text and asked to write the ending. Participants will have the opportunity to share their creations.
To register for either of these two workshops, click here.

On Sunday, September 28, the Lu & Relu Literary Caravan will be parked at Chalet Bellevue from 10:00 to 16:00 with a selection of books for sale at low prices. Stop by and stock up on books for the beautiful fall evenings ahead!
