For the past 2 years the company grew and developed tremendously! The theatre became home for young professional artists (actors, choreographers, designers, composers) who work on either of tree languages, English, French or Russian, as well as many volunteers who enjoy theatre experience and wish to help in various areas of production. There are more than 40 students that went through the theatre studio and summer camps; more than 50 artists participated in various projects; theatre studios are now located in Carlingwood, Orleans and University of Ottawa; theatre produces 2 professional productions, 4-6 student productions, bi-weekly events with KeySIC Project (League of Night Interactive Theatre Games for adults), and hosting many events, workshops, and artistic projects each year; the programs and shows are offered in both English and Russian languages.
