We Need Your Help! The Mainline FUNDrive, December 9th-16th, 2016
MainLine Theatre, a registered charity, works year-round to bring you indie and professional theatre on the Main, the St-Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival, the Bouge d'ici Dance Festival, the Rocky Horror Show and now - The MainLine Gallery - a hotspot for visual artists (right beside Schwartz). In partnership with Village des valeurs, we are conducting a FUNDrive that will be taking place December 9th-16th at our theatre, 3997 St-Laurent. Declutter your closet and help us raise money at the same time! By donating gently-used clothing, shoes, accessories, book, linens, and small household items (no furniture), you can help us raise funds for our ongoing artistic productions and community initiatives.
Help us reach our $1K goal – we get paid for every pound of goods donated!
Bring your donated goods by our Ugly Fringemas Sweater Party or arrange a drop off!
Take advantage of our drive week to drop off your goods. Bring your donations to our Ugly Fringemas Sweater Party on December 9th and receive a special treat! Or email us at info@mainlinetheatre.ca to set up a drop off time.
We welcome:
Clothing, shoes, accessories, handbags, books, linens, and small household items (no furniture). Other items may be accepted, but should be bagged separately and will not be counted towards our compensation.
Volunteers needed!
Want to join in on the FUNDrive fun? We need your help! Spend a couple of hours volunteering with us to help receive and sort donations. Email benevoles@montrealfringe.ca for more details.
Let’s get together and stuff that truck! We need your help to collect $1K worth of goods.

"Le Collectif Les Tisseuses s’est formé à partir de l’envie de rassembler des femmes et des personnes non binaires autour du jeu théâtral en décloisonnant les pratiques et les imaginaires. Il est composé de huit artistes aux origines, pratiques et vécus multiples.
Les Tisseuses ouvrent leur espace créatif avec une étape de la pièce Notre tour c’est quand?, une proposition scénique intimiste.
La pièce raconte l'histoire des funérailles de Pilar, la matriarche d'un quartier. On y retrouve des femmes aux horizons pluriels venues honorer la mémoire de celle qui a su entrelacer leurs existences en leur offrant la possibilité d’assembler leurs histoires. À travers ce moment de deuil, se tissent des liens qui transcendent les frontières de leur famille, de leur quartier et de leur pays, offrant un portrait poignant de la force des relations féminines et de la sororité.
En se rassemblant à la croisée des cycles de vies, les personnages que vous allez rencontrer s’adressent des questions millénaires, et cheminent au cœur de leurs vérités en nous rappelant qu’il n’est de refuge plus solide que celui de nos solidarités.
La pièce s’achèvera par un échange entre les artistes et le public, permettant de recueillir les impressions de ce dernier. Modéré par la directrice artistique du festival.
INSIDE MADPOETIX STUDIO is revolutionizing our Soirées Intimes Series by allowing the audience to get to know the feature performer through an interview during the show live. The artist will be interviewed by our host Kym Dominique Ferguson @Mrkdferguson. This is a one of a kind experience. There will be 8 Open Mic spots available for all genres: spoken word, poetry, comedy, singers, clowns, dancers, you name it we welcome it. They are each given a 5 min timeslot.
