The B.C. NTS Festival will take place from Thurs. Apr. 30 - Sun. May 3 at Douglas College in New Westminster. All delegates participate in workshops during the days and attend the theatre performances in the evenings. Social activities occur every evening after the shows and everyone has the opportunity to meet other high school theatre people from around the province and share stories and experiences.

We are thrilled to have Kim Collier as our Adjudicator, an innovative Canadian director, actor, writer, and dramaturge. Kim will be providing a short public adjudication at the end of each evening’s performances and then a 45 min. private adjudication the following day for the previous evening’s productions.
