Greyscale

Here's what Lorne Campbell, Artisitic Director of Greyscale had to say about receiving the Title Pending award in 2010.

"From the application process, through interview, to residency and mentorship Northern Stage never said 'no' to anything we wanted to try. They were always responsive, supportive and imaginative in how they used their time and resources to support our exploration. This is the type of bespoke, flexible and practical developmental process that makes a real difference to emerging companies."
