Hello again,
Here is my 2nd contribution as a blogger. Enjoy!
QDF Blog Initiative
Hi everyone,
For 2015 the Quebec Drama Federation asked me to start a blog/vlog about being an emerging artist in Montreal. You can watch my first video here:
Ottawa Press Release
8 Ways my Mother was Conceived, written and performed by
Michaela Di Cesare, took Toronto, Montreal and New York City by storm (literally, right on the heels of Hurricane Sandy) and is now ready to sample the cannoli on Preston Street in Ottawa's Little Italy.
My mother is skeptical, “Baby, my cannoli are the best. Just stay home.”
The plot of the play is as follows: In order to cure herself of the Virgin Complex sabotaging her love life, a young woman must face her eccentric Italian family and disprove their belief that her mother was conceived à la Jesus Christ (sans sex). Her quest for the truth takes her from the gynecologist’s office, to a clairvoyant, to her estranged and mysterious great-grandmother in Southern Italy.
“Di Cesare is a wonderful storyteller… Her characters are so well fleshed out that one feels almost like a part of the family after seeing the play. She seamlessly transitions from her adult self, to her mother, to a “bro” she dated, to her 8-year old self, each played with consistent and easily-distinguished voices and mannerisms…a remarkable snapshot of a distinctive slice of Montreal’s culture.”
