thursday june: Kevin Loring was announced on Thursday June 14 as the first Artistic Director of the National Arts Centre's Indigenous Theatre program, according to The Toronto Star. Ryan Tumilty / Metro He said it will have a tangible impact on the first season, leaving the Ottawa-based performing arts centre to rely on fundraising efforts to support the Indigenous program. Award-winning playwright Kevin Loring, the first-ever artistic director of the NAC's Indigenous program, issued a letter on Facebook lamenting a lack of support from Canadian Heritage in the 2019 federal budget. The scope of any subsequent seasons remains in question. I have now been put in the disturbing position of overseeing a department whose creation and existence is a financial burden to an already stressed institution, he added. Without ongoing financial support, we will not have the capacity to achieve our vision and full impact, Loring wrote.
