Multiculturalism and Canada’s Stage: Assessing the diversity of the National Arts Centre’s English Theatre Program, 1969-1994

This project will analyse Canada’s official multiculturalism policy and its impact on the National Arts Centre’s
English language theatre program. The National Arts Centre Archival holdings will be utilized for research to
assess the diversity of persons from ethnic minorities and Indigenous groups as actors, directors, and authors of
the plays that have been performed through the twenty-five years following the opening of the National Arts
Centre. The findings of this research, as well as a detailed history of the National Arts Centre and Canada’s official
multiculturalism policy will be published within an online digital exhibit on the National Arts Centre’s website
and will be made available to the public.
