Upstream Theatre presents Bashir Lazhar January 30 through February 15

Upstream Theatre presents Bashir Lazhar Featuring J. Samuel Davis with live music by Farshid Soltanshahi. An Algerian refugee in Montreal is hastily hired as a substitute for a class of sixth graders who, like him, have experienced recent trauma. As he devotes his heart and soul to his students, his unorthodox methods challenge a system embedded in routine. A timely and poetic piece about grief and healing, love and survival. In 2011 the play was adapted into the Oscar-nominated film Monsieur Lazhar.
