Fredericton – The public will have a rare chance to see a sneak peek of a new musical, when the Fredericton Playhouse hosts a workshop presentation of its commissioned play “Bricklin” later this month.
In July, the Fredericton Playhouse announced that it had commissioned a new musical play depicting the story of the Bricklin -- the failed automobile manufacturing venture headed by American promoter Malcolm Bricklin and financed by the Hatfield government of the early-mid seventies. “It’s a made-in-New Brunswick story about optimism, individual determination, and good old fashioned ego; and it takes place at a very interesting time in our history,” claims Playhouse Executive Director Tim Yerxa. “It has all the trappings of a great piece of theatre -- there are big dreams, risk takers, a sexy sports car, heated political controversy, and pulsating disco music. What else could you ask for in a musical?”

Fredericton, NB – Theatre New Brunswick is thrilled to mark its 10th anniversary with the formation of the Adult Ensemble; a new training opportunity for adult actors that's unique to the province.
For the past ten years, TNB Theatre School has offered a wide range of programming and artistic outlets for students aged 4-18. TNB mentors and supports young actors from their professional training through TNB Young Company, and the Main Stage is committed to celebrating New Brunswick's best theatre professionals. But, until now, there has been no outlet for the adult community actor, "There is tremendous talent in this province and a missing link," said Artistic Producer Caleb Marshall, who will also lead the ensemble,"there is a need for advanced training. Actors are hungry to have a process that makes sense to them, and that anchors them in the world of the play."
