Save the date!  On Thursday, April 8th from 12-1 p.m., Chelsea Ray will host a conversation on Zoom with writer and performer Abby Paige about her work, PIECEWORK. It is an amazing piece and you are sure to learn a lot about Franco-American culture and how people conceive of their French or Franco-American identity.  You do not need to RSVP to this talk. The link is https://maine.zoom.us/j/85014347316 and you can share this with others and invite them. Please do not post the link on a public website to avoid issues with Zoom.

Here is a description:

Piecework: When We Were French — the moving and hilarious one-woman show by writer and performer Abby Paige. Based on extensive research and interviews with Franco-Americans, this powerful and delightful performance explores the legacy of more than a century of French-Canadian immigration to New England and how our stories, memories, and secrets make us who we are. History comes in pieces. We stitch them together.  

Here is more information, including a link where you can pay to watch it for $2.00 or purchase it for $15.00. This is Paige’s own site and all proceeds go directly to the artist.
