The Lunchbox Interview: Melissa Leblanc, Drama UNB

Ah, the power of the stage! We are surrounded by drama, but most of it is disconnected, flat, prerecorded, editted, pre-processed and, in a way, dead.

Certainly, problems and concerns and the regularity of human life goes far beyond these invisible distinctions of place. One of the great consequences of people realizing this is the number of
