Live Bait Theatre is pleased to present its 6th annual New Works Festival running March 21 to 28 in Sackville, New Brunswick. This year’s festival features the reading and presentation of new plays by Morgan Grant, Sue Rose, Devin Rockwell and Michael Warren, and the presentation of award winning plays by young people from the Atlantic Provinces (in conjunction with Playwrights Atlantic Resource Centre). It also features a concert with Caged Animals and Tess Poirier (in collaboration with Sappyfest and CHMA Radio), and workshops in Panto with CJ Norris and Improvisation (for adults and children) with Hannah Lucas. There will also be a workshop and presentation on beading by Indigenous artist Paul Brisk Jr.

As part of the Festival, best-selling author, Charlie Rhindress, will read from his upcoming book, Nova Scotia’s Women of Song, which will be released this Fall. The book features profiles of six trailblazing artists, including Portia White, Anne Murray, and Sarah McLachlan.
