Covid-19 measures will not permit it. I will be attending future events for sure so hopefully we can get the full evening experience by the time this pandemic is over.

Chaperoned some grade 9 students on a field trip to the old port and took part in the Chasse aux fantomes. Basically each group was given a map they had to follow, (maybe a little over an hour total?) Following their maps, the group would walk a couple blocks til they met a ghost who would reenact their stories and timely deaths. The actors did a phenomenal jobs. (enough for the masons who were supposed to be working to stop and listen to the ghost below them). 4 ghosts total, very different in personalities and showmanship were all very good. Our students werent great listeners, but the delivery of at least 2 of the performances were good enough to draw them back in. Pros: some good historical information delivered through gory death stories. Well done actors. Cons, of the 2 who were organizing the whole thing, the male was competant and pleasant. The young lady was not a people person and should maybe rethink switching places with one of the ghosts instead of being the first person people deal with. Not sure if this was supposed to cover some sightseeing as well, if so it wasnt the case. Fun group activity for a theatrical performance of some gory montreal history. (Definetly 12+)
