This is a big year for Theatre
Newfoundland Labrador’s “Tempting Providence” as it celebrates 10 years of
performances around the world. “Tempting Providence” tells the story of Myra
Bennett, a dedicated nurse who practiced on the Northern Peninsula. I recently
got a chance to speak to Gaylene Buckle, Theatre Newfoundland Labrador’s general
manager. “When we developed this play we purposely created it so that it
could be performed in a variety of “stages” around the province, from church
basements to school gyms. Now 10 years later we are doing just that with a
provincial tour that will see the play performed in over 70 locations.” Gaylene
told us.
