The Green Room is a series of (mostly) free events, coordinated by TACTICS in collaboration with different theatre artists and groups across the city, for the entire Ottawa theatre* community. A mix of social events, professional development workshops and performance opportunities, the Green Room is a place for us to connect and grow—as individuals and as a community.
