| Title |
A Playwright from the Canadian Past: W.A. Tremayne (1864-1939)
|
| Abstract |
Details about William Andrew Tremayne's playwriting and amateur theatrical activities in Montreal. The American-born Tremayne (1864-1939) moved to Montreal with his Quebec City-born parents in 1866. By the 1890s he was acting with local repertory companies as well as with American troupes that performed in Canada and the United States, and appears to have made a living from his writing and his work in theatre. The author claims that Tremayne’s golden years extended from the late 1890s to about 1916. He was also involved with amateur-theatre groups in Montreal. Appointed stage director of the Trinity Players in 1911, he continued in that position until 1925. At various times he also directed the Weredale Players of St Stephen’s Church, the Emmanuel Church Players, the Xmas Tree League Players of Saint-Lambert, the troupe of the Young Men’s–Young Women’s Hebrew Association, the Court Players, the Dickens’ Fellowship, the Community Players, and the Little Theatre Players.
