Abstract:
The Northern Arts and Cultural Centre, once a monument to pan-Canadian generosity and Yellowknife civic pride, is now living off the proceeds of bingos. “I don’t want to see it go ... I’ll chain myself to the door if I have to do it,” says Heather Ross, a long-time NACC board member, director and actress. And more recently, bingo organizer. Ross’ despondency and determination may be common in Canada’s theatrical community. But NACC’s riches-to-rags story is anything but common. This is not some vulnerable old institution, slipping slowly into financial oblivion. This 313-seat theatre opened in 1984 after unprecedented community mobilization raised $1.3 million in four years.
