It is ironic that one of this country's most successful theatre companies will spend Canada's 150th birthday away from home.
But Soulpepper's artistic director, Albert Schultz, has a grand plan to showcase Canadian talent by taking 12 shows and more than sixty artists to New York City's 42nd Street.
Soulpepper's first international tour will be a month long.
Mr. Schultz and his crew have rented an entire off-Broadway theatre, with five stages, for award-winning productions that include Kim's Convenience, Crash, Spoon River and Of Human Bondage.
