CHROMA: issue 01
Our Union. Our Stories
Introducing the evolution of the ACTRA National magazine, created for and by performers: CHROMA. A new name, invoking the deep colour and depth of the stories we have to tell to each other and the world, and a new style that speaks to the creative forces that make up ACTRA’s 30,000+ members.
With articles crafted to entertain, inform and resonate, CHROMA is a must-read for OUR union and the home of OUR stories. In the inaugural issue, we discover how Manitoba became the industry’s comeback story; dive into the threats of disinformation to our union and society; catch up with ACTRA Visionary Award recipient Sharon Bajer; and feel the beat of our recording artists’ division, ACTRA PRS RACS.
