Behind the scenes of the NAC’s upcoming theatrical tour in Newfoundland, the artists will be active out in the community, exchanging creative ideas with people in schools, libraries, galleries and at least two prisons. Activities are focused around the craft of theatre, as well as Newfoundland’s performing artists, stories and cultural influence.
