Dawson’s first Cégep en spectacle packed the house
February 8th, 2023
Dawson's very first Cégep en spectacle talent show was a great success. On Feb. 2, the audience of 200 people enjoyed 22 acts, all 100% Dawson student talent. At the end of the night, judges Andréa Cole (Dean of Creative and Applied Arts), Jacinta Luis (Faculty, Music) and visiting guest judge Chad Lindsay, a jazz music teacher from Vanier College, chose AliyahSarimazi to be Dawson's entry in the regional contest on March 25 at Cégep du Vieux-Montréal. The audience chose Clara NhiênLévesque as the fan favourite and she will be the replacement entry should Aliyah not be able to compete in the regionals.
In addition to a fun evening, a total of $1,600 and three big grocery bags of nonperishable food were collected for Moisson Montréal.

Professional Theatre presents The Oresteia
January 25th, 2023
From Feb. 1 to 11, the third-year students of the Professional Theatre Department at ǿմýƵ will perform a contemporary adaptation of The Oresteiadirected by Leslie Baker.
The Oresteia is one of our oldest surviving theatrical texts, first performed nearly 2,500 years ago in ancient Greece. It is composed of three plays which American playwright Ellen McLaughlin has adapted into a single, three-act play, rich with challenging roles for actors. The Oresteia focuses on a family trapped by a cycle of violence, as they seek revenge for their murdered loved ones. The myth of the House of Atreus continues to fascinate audiences, as it investigates the human compulsion toward violence, and the subsequent human desire for revenge. Matinees available Feb. 1, 3 and 9.
