Sports Franchise Dept: On Thursday night at Lion D'Or, a poker party fundraiser will feature a very cool first prize: the most adept player will win tickets to a Canadiens game early next season. And we're not talking the nosebleed section of the Bell Centre: the winner will be sitting with the Molson brothers, right behind the Canadiens bench, according to Montreal Gazette. Porte Parole was created 10 years ago, and Sexy Beton is its seventh production. Subjects of the plays have ranged from the Algerian immigrant experience Montreal la Blanche to the intricacies of investing 2000 Questions to the decline of the manufacturing sector Import/Export and geoff and Andrew Molson are adding a new entry to their corporate profile. Scions of a brewing dynasty and owners of the city's most beloved sports franchise, the Molson brothers have become patrons of documentary theatre. The poker tournament proceeds will benefit Porte Parole, a not-for-profit company that presents plays where "spectators become engaged citizens through the power of theatre." Sexy Beton, Porte Parole's current production, dramatizes the 2006 collapse of the de la Concorde overpass in Laval, an accident that killed five people and seriously injured six. As
