Black Theatre Workshop was an established voice in the Montreal English theatre scene by the 1980’s. The company shifted from having to prove itself to gaining the artistic freedom to explore and challenge. A recurring theme in the 80’s was exploring the black-white dynamic through sexual politics and romantic relations. This is evidenced by the successful productions of Coldsnap, My Sweet Charlie, Statements After an Arrest Under the Immorality Act and The Shelter.

Have you ever considered adding more videos to your blog posts to keep the readers more entertained? I mean I just read through the entire article of yours and it was quite good but since I’m more of a visual learner,I found that to be more helpful well let me know how it turns out.

We have tried to get as many video compilations from as many shows as possible. We do have all the videos on the main page from our Founding Members and Artistic Directors which are very informative! Thanks for the suggestion- we will keep trying to gather as much video footage as possible.
