Postponed

We are thrilled to share with you the first event in our upcoming 50th Anniversary Season! Black Theatre Workshop has been invited by the National Arts Centre to participate in a nationwide initiative celebrating live performance.

Black and Blue Matters – Track 1: No One Gives a F**k About A Cop is a rap battle between a Black teenager who was shot and the white police officer who shot him. It’s an excerpt from Black Theatre Workshop’s upcoming production of Black and Blue Matters, a Hip Hop musical written by Omari Newton and directed by Diane Roberts.

Marking this Moment

As the performing arts sector continues to face unprecedented challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the National Arts Centre has responded with Grand Acts of Theatre, an initiative to bring Canadian artists and audiences together. Eleven of Canada’s most innovative theatre companies have been engaged to create and perform large-scale, new works in response to these times, which will be performed outdoors in front of live audiences in various Canadian locations, filmed, and later shared online. For more information on Grand Acts of Theatre and the companies involved please visit nac-cna.ca/GrandActsofTheatre https://rb.gy/ryjh1k

The National Arts Centre Foundation wishes to thank RBC Foundation as Presenting Partner of Grand Acts of Theatre.
Grand Acts of Theatre is also made possible thanks to the support from The Jenepher Hooper Fund for Theatre at the National Arts Centre Foundation, established as a result of a generous gift from the estate of Jenepher Margaret Hooper.
