Pearl Cards is a creative, collaborative storytelling
game that involves decks of cards with fine art and photographic
images on them. The two decks that are currently available
are made up of public domain images, but in the future,
they'll be releasing decks that feature submitted art
and photography for which the contributors will earn royalties.
To submit artwork for licensing consideration, go to: http://www.pearlcards.com/artists/?me&src=scbwi
If you wish to submit images for future decks, please
download the guidelines document and then if you're still
interested in submitting, contact them via the e-mail
address you'll find in the document.

Bacque has written
"Conrad", a play about
a Canadian newspaper tycoon jailed in the USA for fraud

Presented by Peter Russell, of Minnicoganashene Island,
Cognashene, the play stars Thomas Gough as Conrad, Lord
Bilk of Crosspurposes, Martha Spence as his wife Lady
Babbles, Kay Montgomery as his friend Lady Margaret Thrasher,
ex-PM of Great Britain, plus George MIller of Burnt Island,
Cognashene playing Principal Chuffy Grant of Upper Canada
College. Lord Bilk was expelled from UCC for stealing
and selling exam questions before the exam.

Huronia
Players present "Dancock's Dance",
a drama by Guy Vanderhaeghe, directed by Ron Payne
Set in a mental institution in Saskatchewan after World
War 1, this play explores the many facets of life - love,
hate, illness, frailty and above all, hope. It is a darker
play than the Players' normal fare - neither black nor
white - full of shadows and secrets. With current issues
of Post Traumatic Stress and a potential Pandemic, it
is a play not out of touch with our time.
