| Theatre Direct Canada is celebrating its 30th year of creating, producing and touring quality theatre for children, youth and young adults. Responding to the evolving needs of our audience, keeping in step with changes in the education system and interpreting theatrically, the rapidly changing world from a young person’s point of view, is our challenge. We believe that young people deserve truth not diversion, that they have a cultural right to meaningful content and compelling, relevant theatre. We view young people as thinking, feeling, complex individuals, not a market, not the general theatre’s future audiences but our present audience that needs and demands theatre that engages all their faculties and feelings. Our audience inspires us to tackle big questions in the same way children and youth ask them - honestly, directly, courageously and passionately. | | |
