"The Replacement" is a classic ghost story with a twist; this tale was spun out of a series of unexplained events witnessed over the years, and usually after school, by staff at the Hull Adult Education Centre (formerly an elementary school since the 1950's). Doors slamming, balls rolling, footsteps in dark hallways, children's laughter . . . all heard in an empty school -- this is the stuff of our story.

Stage Write is an educational pilot project for Anglophone students and their teachers across Quebec. This innovative project invites students to familiarize themselves with the work of Quebec playwrights. Then, under the guidance of these playwrights, students will conceptualize, write, produce, and act in a very short radio play, based on a real or imagined dramatic incident in their own community. The radio play will be recorded for podcast and radio broadcast.
This innovative project gives participants an opportunity to express themselves and to develop their creativity.

This project is designed to foster an understanding of ways in which Anglophones can and do contribute to the cultural vitality and diversity of Quebec. It will contribute to the sense of identity, pride, and belonging that Anglophone Quebecers have in their communities and to the roles they play in these communities. By encouraging exchange and collaboration, the project will create an active network that will support community development.

N.B. This timetable is subject to change.
■ End of October - November 2009: Preparation
Orientation days in Montreal (dates to be confirmed):
Teachers will attend a preparatory meeting in Montreal to become familiar with the project structure and the technology used for videoconferencing and collaboration. This session will also, in most cases, give teachers the opportunity to meet the playwright with whom they will be working.
Teachers will receive support materials and a project guide. The guide will offer suggestions, options and possible approaches to developing and managing the project in the classroom. Teachers will use the project materials to develop learning scenarios and to carry out appropriate activities with their students.·Teachers will· at all times be the ones to make decisions regarding the selection and development of specific activities in their classroom.
Students will receive texts written by the playwright.
Class visit to local theatrical production (if possible).
■ November - December 2009: First meeting between
playwright, teacher and the class.
Each group will participate in an in-class or on-line workshop with the playwright. The guide provides suggestions of ways·to prepare for this exchange. During this initial meeting, the playwright will draw on his or her own work and experience.
■ November 2009 to March 2010: Production of the
radio play
In class: elaboration of the project, reading, researching and working in groups.
On-going exchange and dialogue between class participants, playwright and sound editor on an on-line network.
Classes will be storyboarding, drafting, playing and recording their radio play.
■ February - March 2010: video conference with
playwrights
Before the last recording of their work, each class will have a one-hour, on-line or face-to-face session with the playwright. The focus of the dialogue during the videoconference will be the content of the students’ work, and they will receive feedback from the playwright.
■ March 2010: Post production
By following the instructions in the technical guide, the students and teachers will send the memory card with their recordings, and instructions for the final cut, to the sound editor.
The sound editor does the editing and mastering of the radio plays and prepares them for uploading to the website, where they will be made available as podcasts.
