A Message from the Board of Directors of the Alumnae Theatre Company  ·  June 2020
We at Alumnae Theatre unequivocally condemn anti-Black racism and prejudice in all its forms. We recognize that racism threatens the safety of Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) not only in the United States but also here in Canada. We understand that this statement means little if not accompanied by action based on careful listening and consultation with BIPOC theatre artists and community leaders, and deep and honest reflection about what needs to change in the Alumnae Theatre Company culture in order for us to respond in ways that will lead to positive change and growth.  
 
We acknowledge that initiatives undertaken in the past have not as yet resulted in a community that includes and supports BIPOC experiences in a fulsome way. We commit ourselves to develop concrete actions that encourage inclusivity throughout the organization.  During the month of July we will canvass our members and others to invite active participation and suggestions on how best to move forward.

​The Alumnae Theatre Goes "Cross Country" ...

Anne Tait

​On February 7 of this year, CBC Radio’s Cross Country Checkup asked the following question: 
​Has Zoom made your life better or worse?

Anne Tait, a long-time Alumnae member, responded to host Ian Hanomansing with an emphatic “Yes!” She recalled that the COVID-19 pandemic hit right in the middle of our festival of new plays and caused the cancellation of all our upcoming live shows. 

On the bright side, however, the Zoom platform has allowed Alumnae members to create lots of new and very popular programs for its members. “I thought we’d lose that precious connection you have with each other when you’re all working to get a show up on stage," Anne said, "but at the Alumnae, we started online play readings, then fully rehearsed performances, and new groups, where we comment on plays we read, or sharpen our acting skills, or as directors, two of us will direct the same scene. We’ve grown closer together, we’ve attracted many new members, and we’ve enlarged our scope. “

To listen to Anne's interview, click here. The segment starts at the 11:50 mark and runs for about three minutes.
