Where does theatre happen? Your first response would probably be: “on stage.” If you’re familiar with QCT’s spaces, you might get a little more specific: “in a proscenium theater” (such as the Barbara Rowell Auditorium), “in a black box” (like the Lab), “in the round,” etc. You’re right, of course– but if you think about … Continued

Often it feels like … Continued

I’ve been thinking a lot about the QCT connection lately. One month ago (give or take a couple of days), we dedicated the newly named Barbara Rowell Auditorium to honor one of our greats.
