Theatre by the River produces innovative theatre that pushes the boundaries of the normal theatre structure. As an artist, I’m encouraged and inspired by Theatre by the River’s approach, one that challenged me to expand my views on what could be done in independent theatre. Their dynamic and provocative productions help the Winnipeg theatre community strengthen and grow. In works such as Tender Napalm, they are able to thrust theatre audiences into a different world with stunning text and beautiful movement, as a couple’s relationship is explored within different realities. This innovative work challenges artists to take risks, both in viewing theatre shows, and in producing them.
