Burek Pierce, in her second edition of Sex, Brains, and Video Games, has drawn an accurate and up-to-date understanding of twenty-first-century adolescence. This book is a must read for public ...librarians, especially those who work with young adults. Updated from the 2009 edition, Pierce's depiction of what adolescents confront is presented in contemporary research. Readers will be able to examine the sources cited in the book if they want to look deeper, but it may not be necessary due to the capable manner Burek Pierce employs in presenting the information.
John Van Burek's Pleiades Theatre is one of several companies that were thrown out on the streets recently when Artword Theatre was served notice it must wrap up its operations at 75 Portland St. by ...March. The property, home to Artword's 150-seat theatre as well as a 60-seat studio theatre and an art gallery, has been sold to the Freed Development Corporation, which plans to build condominiums on the site. Since it opened in 1999, Artword has been home to 110 full theatre productions and 37 dance programs, as well as such festivals as the Fringe and Summerworks. "You really wonder what's going to happen to these companies," Van Burek says. "If it was just the loss of Artword -- if it wasn't happening everywhere else." In response to news about Artword and the Poor Alex, the Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts formed a facility committee two weeks ago to assist theatre companies in locating new venues. "TAPA is very, very very concerned about the loss of these theatres to the community," says Jacoba Knaapen, TAPA's executive director. "There's such a great amount of media attention to the new opera house, the new ROM, new Telus centre, but what's being lost in all the glitz is the nuts and bolts, the heart and soul of the theatre industry."

Then, just seven days before he succumbed to throat cancer last September, Bill Glassco attended a reading that he had organized of The Seven Days of Simon Labrosse by Carole Frechette. Pleiades ...Theatre's full production of that play, with the director and most of the cast that Glassco had assembled, opened at Toronto's Artword Theatre on Tuesday. After a number of years in Quebec, however, Glassco decided to get involved in the formation of yet another theatre company. "He had been doing a lot of teaching at the National Theatre School in Montreal and was really enjoying working with young people," recalls Michael Shamata, who was mentored by Glassco at Centrestage in the '80s. "He perceived there was a need for somewhere where actors who were recent graduates could have their first experience in a professional world." Unfortunately, after two years of critically acclaimed productions, the funding for the MYC fell through. The company remained on hiatus until last year when Glassco started to reassemble the pieces to put on The Seven Days of Simon Labrosse, a poetic tale about a man who hires actors to put on the story of his life. Its presentation in March was the first time the work of Frechette, who was awarded the Siminovitch Prize the year Glassco was chairman of the $100,000 award, had been done in English in Quebec.
