Fredericton, NB - Theatre New Brunswick’s Theatre School has a longstanding history of offering first-class training to the province’s aspiring theatre artists, from first-timers to seasoned professionals. Coming this September, the theatre school will launch its first ever Adult Music Theatre class, with auditions taking place on Sunday, September 12th from 2-5 and 6-9pm. These auditions will take place alongside the extremely successful Adult Ensemble, which is back for its second year.
The demand for an Adult Music Theatre class is strong, and TNB’s new offering will fill the void. TNB Artistic Producer Caleb Marshall notes that TNB’s flagship program for high school students, Senior Musical Theatre, has a history of sending several performers from the area on to professional theatre schools and careers in the industry. TNB began to expand the program last year to include the Adult Ensemble and are taking it further this year with Adult Music Theatre. Marshall explains that “the demand from former graduates of Senior Musical Theatre and the growing interest in Fredericton from musicals like Gilbert and Sullivan to Christmas @theplayhouse make offering an adult program worthwhile.”

Fredericton, NB - The world premiere production of The Bricklin ended a sold-out run in Fredericton on Sunday to rave reviews. Audiences clamored to snap up the highly sought-after tickets, and the run was extended twice to keep up with the overwhelming demand.
The “sleek” show was lauded as “beautifully performed and produced” by the Telegraph Journal, and has been featured in regional and national media. Telling the story of Malcolm Bricklin’s dreams to build a sexy sports car and the ambition of a Premier to take New Brunswick onto the world stage, this new Canadian musical has generated a lot of buzz.
Audiences laughed and grooved along to this light-hearted look at the failed automotive venture. “I knew this would be something special,” says Fredericton Playhouse Executive Director Tim Yerxa, “but people’s response to the show has been beyond our wildest expectations. They love it, and we’re proud to have such a huge hit on our hands.”

Fredericton, NB - The new musical that has been capturing public attention this summer, just as the Bricklin sports car itself once did, has announced the addition of two matinée performances to the show's run on Sunday August 8th and Sunday August 15th at 1pm.
Charting the rise and fall of the iconic sports car produced in New Brunswick in the 1970’s, the production features a stellar cast lead by its namesake, touted an “orange showstopper” by the Telegraph Journal. Supported by the “powerful presence” of George Masswohl as Premier Richard Hatfield and “smokey-voiced and smokin’ hot” local sizzler Tania Breen, this ensemble of talented actors and musicians have made this show a hit with Fredericton audiences.
