2025/2026 Season – Young Company

A Canyon Contained

The morning after an eventful high-school party, two distant sisters find themselves trapped together on the drive back home. On one side, Jessica is glad to leave her reality behind for the sake of a new cause and a chance to build a bridge. On the other side, Regan struggles to make sense of her night and uncover the agenda behind her sister’s new interest in connecting. As confessions, callouts and questions around consent come into play, the ride turns rocky and the political and personal intertwine. A Canyon Contained, directed by Naomi McGowan is a story of two young women learning how to trust one another and be vulnerable enough to extend and receive offers of care.

The Velveteen Rabbit

This classic tale tells the story of the unconditional love between a boy and his toy rabbit, and how the boy’s love transforms his dearest friend into a real bunny.

In the beloved book by Margery Williams, a group of toys learn what it means to be truly loved. Adapted by former Theatre School Director Tania Breen, this play first toured with the YoCo in 2013 and will be re-imagined in 2026 by director Alex Rioux.

TNB’s Young Company will be touring the province during the months of February and March.

Since its founding in 1974 by New Brunswick playwright Paul Hanna, the TNB Young Company has been introducing school-age audiences to the magic of live theatre. Each year, the Company travels from one end of the province to the other, from Grand Manan to Campbellton, performing in public schools for students grades 1-12.

For many students, TNB Young Company is their first introduction to live, professionally produced theatre. In many of the smaller communities in which TNB Young Company performs, it is also students’ only access to theatre.

All shows are carefully selected for their relevancy, high educational content and themes. They also serve to showcase a host of talented actors, designers and production staff, many of whom are from New Brunswick.

After more than 40 years’ experience touring and performing, it is estimated that TNB Young Company have shared the theatre experience with close to 1,000,000 New Brunswick students.
