A “bizarre blizzard” blew through the Musée de la Civilisation de Québec over the holidays even though the weather outside was delightful. The Bellita productions play Bizarre Blizzard featured a singing cast of two and a big – and a small – prehistoric creature. Was it a yeti? An abominable snowman? The last presentation was on Jan. 5 and it's back to school for kids this week.
