My guests today are the creators of the two mainstage presentations at this year’s Notable Acts Theatre Festival<\/a>. Alexa Higgins<\/strong> is the playwright and a performer of Crane Girl<\/em>, and Jean-Michel Cliche <\/strong>is the playwright and a performer of Tilt<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They join me to chat about the real-world inspirations for each production, the transformation of an idea into an actual play (sometimes, live in the theatre) and what theatre means to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Notable Acts Theatre Festival <\/a>runs July 24 through August 3. The mainstage presentation of Tilt<\/em> runs July 24th and 25th, and Crane Girl<\/em> runs August 2nd and 3rd. Each performance takes place at Memorial Hall on UNB Campus, and runs 7:30pm each night.<\/p>\n
