Ethno-cultural mandate or ethno-cultural casting statement: This Canada 150
production of Blackstone and Bathtubs is inviting and actively encouraging
submissions from performers from all ethnic, religious and cultural
backgrounds.

“Lost in layers of coconut, custard and chocolate on the delicious Nanaimo
Bar trail, our tourists miss their cruise departure.  With a cruel south
easter mounting, the group is forced to extend their stay in the foggy town
whose name they can’t seem to pronounce. But as lightening strikes, a new
journey begins. Join the rumble and tumble aboard The Dream of Nanaimo as
this city’s ancient roots, explosive history and quirky culture spring to
life.”
