The Saskatchewan Native Theatre Company has a new general manager who has some new ideas.

 

Alan Long has worked for SNTC over the past 10 years in a variety of roles.

 

He says SNTC was well-known for its Circle of Voices program that eduated and empowered youth through acting.

 

Long says the company might now explore mentorship productions where young people are learning from professional actors, stage managers and other staff.

 

He also wants to reach out to alumni of past SNTC theatre training programs so they can help develop further programming and possibly create a membership base.
