While we are currently living in uncertain times due to the coronavirus, our contest is still on and operating as per usual. It\u2019s too soon to predict how the pandemic might affect plans for this year\u2019s summer festival, but perhaps the most important work that NotaBle Acts does takes place behind the scenes and out of the spotlight: the play development process that pairs our playwriting contest winners with one of Canada\u2019s leading playwrights every year, allowing emerging playwrights to have their scripts mentored by an experienced professional. This is work that can take place under any conditions, including the physical distancing realities now in place, and therefore will proceed no matter what happens this summer.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To that end, NotaBle Acts is thrilled to announce that our 2020 Playwright\/Dramaturge in Residence, joining us through the generosity of artsnb\u2018s Artist in Residence program, will be Vern Thiessen. Based in Edmonton, Vern is one of Canada\u2019s most acclaimed and accomplished playwrights, as well as an experienced dramaturge, director, actor, and theatre educator. Read more about Vern below, and for everything you need to know about our playwriting contest, check out the information elsewhere on this site. We look forward to receiving your plays soon!&#8221;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li>Bondo Picks <a href=\"https:\/\/towanda.bandcamp.com\/\"><strong>Towanda<\/strong><\/a>:\u00a0<em>Another Bridge Burned<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>Alexandre Silberman<\/strong>, as part of his <strong>STU Journalism<\/strong> program, created this <strong>documentary on the impact of COVID-19 on the province<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Song: <a href=\"https:\/\/scientistsofsound.bandcamp.com\/\"><strong>Scientists of Sound<\/strong><\/a>:\u00a0<em>The Beginning (Of the Beginning of the End)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>COVID-19 update:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The province announced no new cases of COVID-19 yesterday afternoon, leaving the total number of cases at 118.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">92 people have recovered from the virus.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Jennifer Russell urges New Brunswickers to practice good mental health.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prime Minister Trudeau extended the border closure for 30 days.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17 people are dead after a shooting in Nova Scotia last night.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Brunswick musicians are taking to social media to show support.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_4298\"><a href=\"http:\/\/chsrfm.ca\/podcast\/general\/Lunchbox\/The%20Lunchbox%20-%20D20200420%20-%20CU0016%20-%20Bondo%20Picks%20Towanda%20-%20COVID-19%20Documentary%20-%20Scientists%20of%20Sound.mp3\" title=\"Play\" onclick=\"return powerpress_embed_html5a('4298','http:\/\/chsrfm.ca\/podcast\/general\/Lunchbox\/The%20Lunchbox%20-%20D20200420%20-%20CU0016%20-%20Bondo%20Picks%20Towanda%20-%20COVID-19%20Documentary%20-%20Scientists%20of%20Sound.mp3');\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/chsrfm.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/powerpress\/play_audio.png\" title=\"Play\" alt=\"Play\" style=\"border:0;\" width=\"23px\" height=\"24px\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"http:\/\/chsrfm.ca\/podcast\/general\/Lunchbox\/The%20Lunchbox%20-%20D20200420%20-%20CU0016%20-%20Bondo%20Picks%20Towanda%20-%20COVID-19%20Documentary%20-%20Scientists%20of%20Sound.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('http:\/\/chsrfm.ca\/blog\/?powerpress_pinw=3260201-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/chsrfm.ca\/podcast\/general\/Lunchbox\/The%20Lunchbox%20-%20D20200420%20-%20CU0016%20-%20Bondo%20Picks%20Towanda%20-%20COVID-19%20Documentary%20-%20Scientists%20of%20Sound.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"The%20Lunchbox%20-%20D20200420%20-%20CU0016%20-%20Bondo%20Picks%20Towanda%20-%20COVID-19%20Documentary%20-%20Scientists%20of%20Sound.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"http:\/\/chsrfm.ca\/blog\/feed\/podcast\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/chsrfm.ca\/blog\/subscribe-to-podcast\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_more\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"More\" rel=\"nofollow\">More<\/a><\/p><!--powerpress_player-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COVID-19 update;
