Artistic Director Ed Thomason unveiled his 2008 summer season line-up on Friday March 7 at the Victorian-era Waverley Inn in front of cast, crew, sponsors and invited guests.
The launch, hosted by actor Jeremy Webb, was a light-hearted affair with actors and directors for the theatre's 21st season taking turns to announce four Main Stage shows, two Family Stage offerings and a full slate of edgier work from emerging and visiting artists in the companies successful Stage2 second space.
Thomason puts the theatre's success down to his staff, his acting company of Nova Scotia's finest actors and the support from the community of Antigonish. "We've been called the little festival that could. We pack our season with a variety of plays, really something for everyone's tastes, but we keep it small and sustainable."
