TALK-ABOUT-IT TABLES

Theatre is a conversation to share with our neighbours.

Immediately after the performances on Friday, December 18 at 7:30 pm and Saturday, December 19 at both 2 pm and 7:30 pm, we invite you to take a moment to share your reactions with each other at one of the NAC’s new Talk-About-It Tables. You’ll find a menu of prompts to help start the conversation and the bar will remain open. Your presence at the table is an invitation to others – yes strangers – to join and say hello. Think of it as an instant Book Club for engaged audience members!
