CALGARY – A memorial is being held Monday afternoon for Michael Green, a well-respected member of Calgary’s arts community who was killed last week in a car crash in Saskatchewan.
Green was the co-founder and co-artistic director of the popular company One Yellow Rabbit Theatre. The company and Green’s family are inviting the public to celebrate his life at the Jack Singer Concert Hall in Arts Commons at 2 p.m. on Monday. A reception will follow.
The crash also claimed the lives of three other members of Canada’s artistic community: Lacy Morin-Desjarlais, Michele Sereda and Narcisse Blood.
Morin-Desjarlais, 29, worked on plays and powwows at the University of Regina. Sereda, 49, was the artistic director of the experimental Curtain Razors theatre company. Blood, 60, was a leader and elder in the Blood Nation, an award-winning filmmaker, and an eminent scholar and instructor at Red Crow Community College.
