Since theatre started in Manitoba almost a century and a half ago, it has produced some shining moments, some unforgettable characters, and some great stories: how two visionaries, Hendry and Hirsch, convinced Manitoba to embrace a Theatre Centre that became a model for the rest of the world, how Prairie Theatre Exchange inspired Manitobans to create their own theatre, how Nellie McClung used theatre to help women get the vote, and how a fire at the first theatre event in Winnipeg almost destroyed the whole town.
