À Tour de Rôle : Neuf pièces en un acte

À Tour de Rôle : Neuf pièces en un acte

From Robert L. Paris' introduction to the text:"'À Tour de Rôle' is a collection of nine original dramatic skits in French, of twenty to forty-five minutes duration each. These skits can be used in bilingual classes at the secondary level and above. They are expecially appropriate for extracurricular use with general audiences also. The skits are generally light in tone, humorous and even satirical. Characters and plots also present serious concerns from time to time. Everything revolves around the issues of personal and ethnic identity, values and communication patterns, cross-cultural conflicts, socio-cultural awareness or the lack of it from both historical and contemporary perspectives." "The general objectives are (a) to provide the reader with the historical/cultural information about Franco-Americans as an ethnic group and as individuals; (b) to provide the reader with information relating to Franco-American self-identity and life values; (c) to provide the reader with certain role-models of Franco-American life to be criticized; (d) to identify some of the significant elements in various life situations which may be problematical for Franco-Americans in contemporary society and to raise questions and issues related there-to; (e) to foster some positive attitudes toward the cause and quality of the Franco-American heritage; (f) to reinforce the communication skills of the reader." The publication contains the following pieces: "Le matin dans un mirroir" and "Les aiguilles de la pendule" (Normand C. Dube), "Le testament," "La crise de l'huile," and "Minuit, Chretiens!" "La belle-mere," and "Le revenant" (Renaud S. Albert), "Les trois anges" (Paul Pare), and "Mathias Barnabe" (Gregoire Chabot).
