| Title |
Canada's First Professional Company
|
| Abstract |
The author outlines the pioneering theatrical work of a trio of actor-managers - Edward Allen, John Bentley and William Moore - who arrived in Montreal from the United States early in 1786. He argues that this trio deserve recognition for founding Canada's first professional company in Montreal, which gave evenings of entertainment in March 1786 in Levy Solomon's assembly hall along the lines of London companies.
