Project Description
Youtheatre Movement is embarking upon a National Tour across Canada, producing a Trilogy of dramatic works.
We are in search for an Ensemble of unabashed truth-seekers willing to hit the road and Stand in the Gap tackling 3 societal issues through the lens of story: Abduction, Addiction, and Racism. This tour will pull, bend, and stretch our limits, but together we will touch communities from the Pacific to the Atlantic.
