LEWISTON — The next La Rencontre at the Gendron Franco Center will feature local performing artist Tony Morin.
La Rencontre (the gathering) is scheduled for 11:25 a.m. Thursday, May 9. La Rencontre is not restricted to French-speakers or even those of Franco descent. All are welcome to attend this fun monthly meal and event, as long as spots remain open. The home-cooked meal is Lasagna, green salad, garlic bread and dessert.
The event is sponsored by TV5MONDE USA, the global French language entertainment network, which offers programs from France, Belgium, Switzerland and Canada. TV5MONDE can be found locally on Spectrum Cable at Channel 71 in the Lewiston area.
After the meal, Morin, the lead singer of Farmhouse Project, a local classic rock band will perform. He has been involved in theater since his family toured a concert version of “Godspell” when he was a toddler. Some of his favorite roles include Joseph in “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” and Judas/John the Baptist in “Godspell.” Recent roles at L/A’s Community Little Theatre include Bob Cratchit in “A Christmas Carol: The Musical” and The Wolf in “Into The Woods.” He is also a founding member of the Franco Center’s Thread Theater.
