CHARLOTTETOWN – From June 2nd – June 4th, Quebec singer-songwriter and actor Kevin Parent and the production team for La Petite Séduction are touring Charlottetown and Rustico as part of one episode of the popular TV series.
The series has been broadcast on ICI Radio-Canada since 2005 and attracts more than 1 million viewers each week. The concept of the series is inspired by a classic Quebec film La Grande Séduction where a small village came together to charm a visiting doctor to stay. In the TV version, francophone towns try to make a celebrity fall in love with their community and way of life by showcasing their regional delights and best-kept secrets.
Islanders are invited to participate during the filming which will take place on Saturday June 3rd and on Sunday June 4th in Charlottetown and Rustico. Bring your friends, family and smiles! Extras are needed for five crowd scenes and English and French speakers of all ages are welcome.
