For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again pulls on heartstrings without you even realizing it.
It’s a heartfelt one-act play that makes one think a bit deeper and about the meaning of life and death with absolute subtlety.
Using minimal props and engagement in an extravagant imagination, the dialog brings this play to life.
Geraldine Lee and Aaron Redditt work in harmony to deliver a story of a mother and son’s relationship throughout the years.
This play was written by French Canadian Playwright Michel Tremblay. Carol Todor directed the play that will be featured in the Valley.
The hour and a half performance is a direct reflection of life in Montreal, shedding a light on the 1950’s women’s working class and heavily religious foundation.
For the Pleasure of Seeing Her Again runs from November 9 to 11 and then the 15 to 17. There will be a matinee on November 12 at 2 p.m. All shows start at 7:30 p.m.

Here is a sneak peek of the performance:

 Cenovus operations in the area may soon be sold for cash proceeds of $1.3 Billion.  
    The company announced on October 19 that it has reached an agreement to sell its crude oil and natural gas assets in the Palliser Block to Torxen Energy and Schlumberger. According to a press release from Cenovus, the proceeds from the sale will be used to deleverage the company’s balance sheet.
    “Our strategy to optimize our portfolio by selling non-core assets and using the proceeds to pay down debt is firmly on track,” said Brian Ferguson, President & Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to target between $4 billion and $5 billion in announced asset sale agreements by the end of the year, and we remain committed to returning to our long-term debt ratio target.”
    The Mail reported in December of last year that Cenovus was planning to invest $160 million of growth capital and had identified about 700 attractive drilling opportunities.
    The Palliser Block surrounds Brooks at the southern end and extends towards Drumheller at its northernmost point. It has a current production of 54,000 Barrels of oil equivalent per day.
    This deal comes about a month after the company announced an agreement to sell its crude and natural gas operations in the Suffield block to International Petroleum Corporation for $512 Million.
    Both deals are expected to close in the fourth quarter of this year, subject to customary conditions.
    “We continue to expect that the Palliser sale will close before the end of the year,” said Brett Harris, manager  external communications, for Cenovus. “Once the transaction has closed the operations will transfer to the new owners.”
