    Introducing the National Arts Centre
    The National Arts Centre (NAC) is Canada's bilingual, multi-disciplinary home for the
    performing arts. The NAC presents, creates, produces, and co-produces performing
    arts programming in various streams—the NAC Orchestra, Dance, English Theatre,
    French Theatre, Indigenous Theatre, and Popular Music and Variety—and nurtures the
