Women and Power

NLT presents its 36th season of exciting, challenging and edgy works with three Canadian plays that explore the ideas of women and power.

We are pleased to present two new plays by Canadian women writers in Halifax (Karen Bassett's HEROINE) and Toronto (Erika Hennebury and Ruth Madoc-Jones' THE ECSTATICS), as well as the premiere of a new work by local award winning playwright Trevor Schmidt. All of these plays feature completely female casts, and we are thrilled to welcome back some of our favorite actresses – as well as a few that are making their NLT debut.

A word of warning – curtain time for the shows varies. HEROINE, at the Varscona theatre, begins promptly at 7:30 pm while CLEOPATRA'S SISTER and THE ECSTATICS, being presented in the PCL Studio and Studio B at the TransAlta Arts Barns, will kick off at 8pm. Make a note – we wouldn't want you to miss a single moment!
