QTAG: Quesnel Theatre Action Group

Our Dream

“The audience shuffles into the theatre. The crowd is a buzz with excitement. The feeling of anticipation is hanging in the air, so heavy you can taste it. There's a little more shuffling and program rustling while 450 people sink into the comfort of their plush-covered seats, and at that moment, QTAG’s dream of opening night at Quesnels new theatre is just a little bit closer. Then, as the lights dim and the theatre's stage glows in the darkness, there is a moment of silence. The curtains are drawn back slowly to reveal the deep stage. There is an audible gasp of breath as the audience looks around at their new theatre. Spontaneous applause erupts in appreciation of what has been accomplished. A moment's pause and the play begins.”
