THUNDER BAY—The Seventh Annual 10×10 Showcase will feature the directorial debut of Nadia Cheechoo, the head carpenter at Magnus Theatre in Thunder Bay whose mother is from Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory.

“I did a little bit of directing when I was going to [Confederation] College — I took the film program,” Cheechoo says. “We did three short films the first year and then our big thesis film the second year. I find that theatre is definitely a lot more [where] you’ve got to use your imagination because you only have the particular setting as well as the pieces that you get and the fact that it is live as well instead of being able to take multiple shots for film.”

Cheechoo is directing the play Baggage Check, which was written by Sue Blott and will be performed during the 10×10 Showcase later this week on April 12-13 at Magnus Theatre.

“Baggage Check is about an older couple who have been married for about 25 years,” Cheechoo says...

NT Live Presents Richard II--SUNDAY EVENING

2/23/2019

Join us for this encore broadcast!
Silver City Thunder Bay, Sunday, February 24, 6:30 pm.

A psychological study of power and its accompanying perils. Stripped back to a skeletal plot, Shakespeare’s most poetic history play becomes a political thriller — a tale of how to topple a king.

In this visceral new production, the pulse of war drums gets under the skin and the iron-grey box set offers no escape. It turns civil war into a cage-fight to the death.

The Tragedy of King Richard the Second
by William Shakespeare

Directed by Joe Hill-Gibbins. An Almeida Theatre production.

**** Simon Russell Beale proves himself our foremost Shakespearean actor - Independent

JOIN US at Silver City for a talk-back after the show!
Play begins at 6:30 pm
RUNNING TIME: 1h 55m
