Portraits of the Pandemic Northern Stage "With all our shows canceled, and everything going virtual, an idea began to take shape. I wanted to provide a lifeline for these teens in our theater community – give them a reason to take meaningful time to reflect through journaling. I reached out to all the students who had recently acted with Northern Stage. Thirty-four brave young actors signed on for this odyssey - opening a window into their unique quarantine perspectives. These are their Portraits of the Pandemic."- Eric Love, Director of Education at Northern Stage inselDENKER Portraits Tobias Bücklein Podcast by Tobias Bücklein Reminiscences et Portraits: Kamouraska by François Magloire Derome (1821 - 1880) LibriVox François Derome, auteur, avocat, fonctionnaire et journaliste canadien français, décrit en portraits brefs des paysages et personnages aimés de la région de Kamouraska au Québec en mi-19e siècle. Apparaissant alors dans un recueil nommé le Foyer Canadien, Les Reminiscences furent digitisés par l'université de Toronto en 2011. Le récit semble incomplet, mais porte néanmoins un intérêt historique. À noter qu'un roman de l'auteur contemporaine, Anne Hébert, réalisé lui aussi autour de Kamouraska, a connu un succès international.
