The Dividing Line:

I moved to Ottawa in 1989 and contacted GCTC to become a volunteer. I was enlisted to serve on the company’s then nascent fundraising committee. In early 1990 I became employed by the theatre to work on its audience development efforts. I was warmly welcomed into the GCTC fold and remained with the company for the next seven years. There was one thing however that forever placed me and others on the other side of a divide. That divide existed between those who had been there for Sandinista! and those who had not. With the opening of 910 Gladstone, GCTC had a permanent place to mount its productions. Those who were there for that first housewarming in the form of Sandinista! were obviously touched deeply by that experience. It was something they never forgot.
