The Saint John Theatre Company is launching a three-year pilot project to develop a new professional theatre residency for emerging artists with strong ties to Atlantic Canada. This program, called the Atlantic Repertory Company (ARC) will ultimately offer a group of Atlantic Canadian theatre artists a full year paid residency in Saint John, New Brunswick.

For year one of the three-year pilot project, the ARC will be producing two professional theatre projects guided by leading Canadian directors. The ARC year-one pilot project has been supported by the Province of New Brunswick, the Canada Council for the Arts and the RBC Emerging Artists Project.
