Description
Summary:Magnetic North Theatre Festival played in St. John’s, Newfoundland from 28 June through 8 July 2006. We in St. John’s were delighted to welcome Canada’s National Festival of Contemporary Canadian Theatre in English. It is hard to believe that this outstanding theatrical event has only been in existence for four years, but what a tremendous special happening we experienced on the East Coast. With world premieres, exciting remounts, special Atlantic contributions, Magnetic Encounters, the Newfoundland and Labrador Scene, On the Verge and non-stop theatre-going and partying, it was a busy and extremely stimulating time.
