2001 Fox Winners

Congratulations to the three NTS grads among this year’s winners of the William and Eva Fox Foundation Fellowships. They are: Fanny Weilbrenner (Interprétation, 2001), who will study singing in Rome with world-renown singer and teacher Marguerite Lavergne; Geneviève Filion (Interprétation, 1998), who will attend the Institut National d’Audiovisuel in France, where she will refine her vocal skills in the recording studio for radio, documentaries, and drama; and Christian-Michel Grenier (Interprétation, 2000), who will study musical theatre at the Guildford School of Acting in Surrey, England. Each year the New York based foundation disburses approximately $250,000 in fellowships to recent graduates of the Juilliard School, the Yale School of Drama, NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts and the National Theatre School of Canada. Next year’s deadline is March 1st, 2002. For more information, please contact Gilles Renaud at 514.842.7954, ext. 114 or write him at gillesrenaud@ent-nts.qc.ca

We can’t read every Canadian publication on a daily basis, but we do want to know when the School or one of our graduates appears in the country’s newspapers. This information is important to us, as it helps us with our external communications and our demands for funding. If you live in a province other than Quebec and you come across an article that mentions the NTS, please send us a copy — especially if it’s about you! Article with coffee-mug stains are acceptable but not mandatory.

Thanks alumni! We pitched you the idea of starting up an Alumni Association and you responded with a resounding "Yes". We received many of the alumni questionnaire forms we sent out, returned with plenty of good ideas, suggestions, and offers of assistance. We are now in the midst of compiling all that information and looking into the structures of similar organizations. A big thank you to those who offered to help. We’ll be in touch soon to brainstorm more ideas and see what we can get off the ground. If you would like to get involved or add your name to our Alumni Association list, please contact: Christopher DiRaddo at 514.842.7954, ext.149.
