Apollo Thursdays is dedicated to women that have strived to succeed, such as actresses, photographers, vice presidents and business leaders, singers and more. These women all share a common thing: their contribution to the business world leaves a distinctive mark. This is a great chance to socialize and make contacts in the great space of Loft Le 4 Eme in Old Montreal.

SATURDAY
Do you have a photographic eye or just love looking at wonderful images? Photodocumentary: Fundraising Event takes place at Laika, a see-and-be-seen lounge and restaurant on St. Laurent. It’s an evening of creative fundraising among friends, artists and photographers. This fundraising event is to help raise funds for a four-month volunteering and photo project in Ecuador. The aim of the project is to give indigenous communities a lending hand by performing such tasks as rebuilding community areas, teaching kids, and feeding animals. By the use of Mei Lai On’s camera lenses, she will present a story through the eyes of the people, and create meaningful portraits and landscape shots. The party will only take place tonight but you can donate from now until the goal is achieved. For information click here.

SUNDAY
Our dear friends at The Segal Centre are hosting the Montreal premiere of six-time Tony Award-winning drama RED by John Logan. RED draws the audience into the studio of Abstract-Expressionist painter Mark Rothko in 1958, when the celebrated American artist was at the peak of his fame. Written by Academy-Award nominated screenwriter and playwright John Logan (Gladiator, The Aviator), RED examines the nature of creation while painting an enthralling and vivid portrait of one of the great artists of the twentieth century. A deep and beautiful masterpiece and truly great way for YPs to spark their theatrical side. For information click here.
If dancing is on your mind but you’re too lazy to actually participate in it yourself, why not watch it? Roleplay and Big City Motor are performing tonight at Monument-National, the oldest functioning theater in Quebec located in the heart of the Quartier des Spectacles. The presentation will feature Roleplay that will incorporate bright lights and upbeat music in a rotating stage where a quartet of dancers will move decisively and repetitively. Meanwhile Big City Motor will focus on exploring the body in perpetual motion through postmodern dance, extreme sports, parkour and street dance – a true beauty.
