About The Play
English is about four Iranian adults in the year 2008 who meet up tri-weekly and are preparing for a “test of English as a foreign language” in their English language as a secondary language class that has one rule: English only. All four have different motivations; one has an impending green card interview, another wishes to be able to communicate with their Canadian granddaughter, another wishes to go to an Australian medical school and finally one has just always liked the language and wishes to learn it. Some cling to their mother language while others embrace the change.

Sara Angelucci | Undergrowth - Art Gallery of Mississauga
2026-03-11
Sara Angelucci | Undergrowth
Curated by Shannon Anderson
About the Exhibition
Sara Angelucci transforms found photographs and creates images exposing the cultural and historical conditions outside the image frame, bringing attention to the social forces that generate the language of photography.
Undergrowth brings together several bodies of work produced over the last decade that examine the ways in which photographic practices have contributed to the divide between humans and nature. This direction finds its impetus in her series Aviary (2013), which morphs images of extinct or endangered birds with found Victorian cartes-de-visite portraits to form strange, hybrid creatures. These works, alongside series such as Arboretum (2016) and the sculptural installation Sightings (Ivory-Billed Woodpecker) (2015), consider the implications of the historical Western impulse to capture and classify nature.
Angelucci’s most recent works are grounded in environmental engagement, investigating local plant species and the vulnerable habitats we disturb. Nocturnal Botanical Ontario (2019–ongoing) highlights the intricate webs of native, introduced, and invasive plant species in our immediate proximity, while her video Ghost Orchard (2022) captures the overrun growth of an abandoned orchard just before impending plans for urban redevelopment will cause its disappearance.
Throughout these interconnected projects, Angelucci offers thoughtful and intimate acts of attention that evolve from a place of reverence and respect, as she seeks to examine and reconcile our relationship with the natural world.
Undergrowth is co-presented by the Art Gallery of Mississauga, the Art Gallery of Sudbury, the Varley Art Gallery of Markham, and Tom Thomson Art Gallery.
The artist would like to thank the Toronto Arts Council, the Ontario Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts for their support of work included in this exhibition.
Funding for the Art Gallery of Mississauga is provided by the City of Mississauga, the Ontario Arts Council, Canada Council for the Arts, TD Bank Group, Rama Gaming House, and Charitable Gaming Community Good.
Undergrowth is part of the CONTACT Photography Festival.

CHARISMA: spring exhibition
2026-03-11
Crescent Hill Gallery’s annual spring exhibition showcases new work by their gallery artists demonstrating the brilliance of our local art community.
On from April 26, 2024 to May 24, 2024
Curatorial Statement:
Charisma is a quality allied with talent and other gifts that have, over the centuries, been perceived by the admiring beholder as beyond the attainment of normal people, as supernatural, or divine. Charisma can also be found in works of art, in the figures and subjects of paintings, sculpture, and installation, imbued with the power and presence of the artist. The works, admired by art enthusiasts and collectors, have a reverence all their own, inspiring the same sort of admiring wonder. That certain “je ne sais quoi” or undefinable quality creates magnetism and attraction. The artwork exhibited at Crescent Hill Gallery has been known to affect collectors and visitors similarly. The artist’s charisma transfers to the painting and reflects in the eyes of the admirer. To each art lover, their preference, and at Crescent Hill the quality of work on display allows the viewer to get lost in their memories, reminiscing on a narrative, colour, figure, form, or design that brings into view a powerful feeling of connection.
Tracing where the artist has been and where they have touched the canvas unlocks a journey for the viewer to follow. It considers inspiration and appropriation and creates a narrative of strung-together moments that can resonate with the viewer. If the collector acquires the piece, their relationship with the work will grow and change as they do.
The force of charismatic art is experienced individually and collectively, with some visuals having shaped entire cultures or national identities. The power of artworks to fascinate, educate, and reform is a fact of social history—the search for connection and what it means to find it.

Unique to this event:
For this iteration of the spring group exhibition, the gallery is collaborating with innovative designers at Ethan Allen (Mississauga). We will work with them to bring furniture and design elements to the gallery to create an opportunity for collectors and designers who attend to imagine the work in their own spaces. Small vignettes will be placed in the mini-galleries to exemplify further how the works will resonate in home and office environments.
Come experience the power of original art at the spring group exhibition CHARISMA opening Friday, April 26th from 6-9 pm at Crescent Hill Gallery! Get on the guest list today!

F.L.A.P Talk with Michael Mesure - Art Gallery of Mississauga
2026-03-11 01:10
Michael Mesure, Executive Director of FLAP Canada & Cofounder BirdSafe® Building Consultant, will speak about bird-building collisions in the urban environment, bringing attention to the reflective light issue that impacts over 1 billion birds across North America every year.
This special program is produced in alignment with Sara Angelucci’s Undergrowth exhibition, on view at the Art Gallery of Mississauga from April 20 to July 7, 2024.
Click here to register.
The Art Gallery of Mississauga would like to thank RAMA Gaming House Mississauga and Charitable Gaming, Community Good for financially supporting, this program.
ABOUT MICHAEL MESURE
Michael Mesure is the Executive Director of Fatal Light Awareness Program (FLAP) Canada, a registered Canadian charity. He has been with the organization since it began operations in 1993.
An author and speaker, Michael regularly delivers presentations on the topic of bird-building collisions. His work increasingly focuses on solutions to help mitigate and remediate the challenges of bird migrations in built environments, from having led the BirdSafe® Building Standards and risk assessments, to helping develop the Canadian Standards Association’s (CSA) Bird-Friendly Design standard as a technical committee member. Michael tirelessly advocates for bird protections at various levels of government, and consults with city planners across North America on developing bird-friendly guidelines and standards.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
Sara Angelucci transforms found photographs and creates images exposing the cultural and historical conditions outside the image frame, bringing attention to the social forces that generate the language of photography.
In addition to his ongoing bird rescue and recovery patrols, Michael’s time is spent partnership-building and enabling collaboration to promote bird conservation programs and other renowned initiatives— including Global Bird Rescue and Bird-Safe Campus —and contributing content to ornithological-focused papers.
Undergrowth brings together several bodies of work produced over the last decade that examine the ways in which photographic practices have contributed to the divide between humans and nature. This direction finds its impetus in her series Aviary (2013), which morphs images of extinct or endangered birds with found Victorian cartes-de-visite portraits to form strange, hybrid creatures. These works, alongside series such as Arboretum (2016) and the sculptural installation Sightings (Ivory-Billed Woodpecker) (2015), consider the implications of the historical Western impulse to capture and classify nature.
Angelucci’s most recent works are grounded in environmental engagement, investigating local plant species and the vulnerable habitats we disturb. Nocturnal Botanical Ontario (2019–ongoing) highlights the intricate webs of native, introduced, and invasive plant species in our immediate proximity, while her video Ghost Orchard (2022) captures the overrun growth of an abandoned orchard just before impending plans for urban redevelopment will cause its disappearance.
Throughout these interconnected projects, Angelucci offers thoughtful and intimate acts of attention that evolve from a place of reverence and respect, as she seeks to examine and reconcile our relationship with the natural world.
Undergrowth is co-presented by the Art Gallery of Mississauga, the Art Gallery of Sudbury, the Varley Art Gallery of Markham, and the Tom Thomson Art Gallery.
The artist would like to thank the Toronto Arts Council, the Ontario Arts Council and the Canada Council for the Arts for their support of work included in this exhibition.

Fauré Requiem - Mississauga Chamber Singers
2026-03-11 01:10
As well as his ‘Cantique de Jean Racine’, and other compositions from the late 19th century French choral library, including Duruflé’s ‘Quatre Motets’.
The music of Fauré’s Requiem is peaceful, serene, elevating and comforting. The ‘In Paradisum‘ is so recognizable as to identify this entire work as soundly as the ‘Hallelujah Chorus’ identifies Handel’s ‘Messiah‘

Do you believe in magic?
Creating a beautiful piece of art is truly magical. Artists take paint and brushes to a blank canvas and create an image that didn’t exist before and every time an artist begins a new work, it has its own story and unique journey. Not only painters, but jewellers, woodworkers, glass artists and textile artists all work their magic!
