"Let there be lots of music, flowers, food and wine. And no eulogies. And everyone must dance. Lots of Latin American music, sambas, rhumbas and congas, if anyone can remember how to do them. Celebrate my life; don't mourn my death. I think I did the most I could with it and I will be there in spirit." – George Fry, 1998 We will do our very best to fulfill his wishes. In order to ensure there is ample food and beverage would you please email [email protected] to let us know how many we can expect. We want to emphasise that RSVP is not necessary; we don't want to exclude anyone, just get a rough idea of how many we can expect. Click here to see the formal invitation. Back to top. 2.

A Chat with Playwright Walter Learning and Director Caleb Marshall Oct 16 In 1974, Theatre New Brunswick made theatre history with the world premiere of Frankenstein, The Man Who became God. Before the final draft was complete, TNB had already received a dozen inquiries from other theatre companies curious to learn when they could produce what was already being referred to as a modern classic. Written by Alden Nowlan and Walter Learning, the play broke all previous box office records at The Playhouse, received 15 standing ovations over 17 performances and was attended by an estimated 20% of the city’s population. This event will take place on Thursday, October 16 at 7pm at The Fredericton Public Library. TNB and the Fredericton Public Library invite you to join us for a conversation with playwright Walter Learning and director Caleb Marshall as they discuss the history of this classic thriller and its upcoming return to the TNB stage.

Canadian Author Beth Powning Comes Home Oct 17 After twenty-five years on a New Brunswick farm, award-winning Canadian author, Beth Powning, came to understand the land she calls home. Now, almost twenty years after the initial publication of Home: Chronicle of a North Country Life, readers may once again experience the spirit of home in nature in this new edition of her seminal book. Originally released in Canada as Seeds of Another Summer, this new edition, which includes a new introduction and gorgeous reproductions of Powning’s sumptuous nature photography, will inspire those who seek a simpler life and enchant those who are already there. Join us as Beth speaks about Home: Chronicle of a North Country Life and signs copies of her breakthrough memoir on Friday, October 17, at 7pm at Westminster Books, located at 445 King Street, Fredericton. This event is free and open to the public. For more information contact Kathleen Peacock at [email protected] or 1-888-926-8377. Back to top. 7. Gaskell's Ghosts: Colloquium at the Department of English UNB Oct 17 The first talk in the Department of English 2014-15 Colloquium series will be given by Dr Vicky Simpson, and will be entitled Gaskell's thGhosts: The Phantasmagoric Narration of The Old Nurse’s Story. The 19 century phantasmagoria, or magic lantern show, serves Dr Simpson as a model for understanding Elizabeth Gaskell’s investigation of the supernatural in The Old Nurse’s Story. Through the medium of the magic lantern fictional ghosts are rendered "real" to the audience; Gaskell’s tale shows that a narrative can do the same. The Old Nurse’s Story is framed as a tale in which ghosts—demanded by an audience eager for entertainment—are filtered through the acute senses of the narrator Hester. Focusing on the dynamics of narration highlights Hester’s role as entertainer. She translates the multisensory experience of the phantasmagoria using tricks of perception to foster a split consciousness in her listeners. Gaskell’s narrator shows that the experience of a haunting can be real, even if the stimulus itself—a ghost or a story—is not. The talk will be given in Room 5, Tilley Hall, at UNB on Friday, October 17 at 3:30pm. Admission is free and all are welcome. For more information, contact Mary Rimmer at the Department of English at 453-7393 or [email protected]. Back to top. 8.

When they reach Ellis Island, doctors discover that Magda (Angela Sarafyan) is ill, and the two women are separated. Ewa is released onto the mean streets of Manhattan while her sister is quarantined. Alone, with nowhere to turn and desperate to reunite with Magda, Ewa quickly falls prey to Bruno (Joaquin Phoenix), a charming but wicked man who takes her in and forces her into prostitution. The arrival of Orlando (Jeremy Renner) - a dashing stage magician who is also Bruno's cousin - restores her self-belief and hopes for a brighter future, becoming her only chance to escape the nightmare in which she finds herself. Magic in the Moonlight October 27, 2014, 7:30pm at Tilley Hall, UNB Campus Woody Allen USA, 2014 English 98 minutes Principal Cast: Emma Stone, Colin Firth, Marcia Gay Harden, Jacki Weaver Following the triumphs of the Academy Award–winning Midnight in Paris and Blue Jasmine, Woody Allen returns to the Continent with Magic in the Moonlight. Set on the banks of the French Riviera amidst the high society of the Roaring Twenties, this sparkling, lighthearted charmer is part May-December romance and part comedy of manners. Wealthy, middle-aged Englishman Stanley (Academy Award winner Colin Firth, The King’s Speech, The Railway Man) is asked to visit the household of a rich socialite in the south of France in order to debunk a supposed “spiritual medium” who has the family under her spell. However, Stanley soon has his ironclad skepticism put to the test when he meets the mystic in the flesh. Sophie (Emma Stone, The Help, Gangster Squad) is a beautiful young woman who has the ability to look into a person’s eyes and tell them things about their life that no one else could possibly know. Is it all a con—or could she actually be the real thing? As séances are succeeded by picturesque drives in the country and strolls along the shoreline of this holiday paradise, Stanley’s po-faced pragmatism begins to give way to the mysteries of magic—and the thrill of romance. Firth and Stone are perfectly matched as the stoic Stanley and the effervescent Sophie, and Allen’s masterfully light touch recalls all the pleasures of his previous classics. With its irrepressible charm and stunningly beautiful setting, Magic in the Moonlight may just have you booking a ticket to the Côte d’Azur. This term, 12 limited release, independent, foreign, and Canadian films will be shown. The film series is open to everyone. Regular admission is $7; Member’s admission is $4. January-April Memberships are $20 (regular), and $12 (Students/Seniors (65 years and up)/NBFC Members). Memberships are available at the door. For further info, contact NB Film Co-op at 455-1632, [email protected], or http://www.nbfilmcoop.com/exhibition/monday-nightfilm-series.

This piece, like Sibelius' Finlandia, played in the opening concert last season, is passionately patriotic, distinctive and uplifting. Maestro Newnham’s choice of the Little Suite by Witold Lutosławski for the opening of the season was inspired by his personal passion for Poland and the influences that its music had on his life and musical development.
