Probably best known for the play Old Stock: A Refugee Love Story—playwright Hannah Moscovitch's world-touring sensation—2b has been an ambitious and innovative player in Halifax's theatre scene for over two decades.
"The Associate Artistic Director will be a lead artist at 2b, creating new shows, and developing the company’s artistic and outreach programming alongside Artistic Director, Christian Barry," reads a press release, before quoting 2b's executive director, LaMeia Reddick, as saying: "This position was created to support the significant cultural and structural shifts taking place at 2b an in the arts industry. Jacob's contributions to the team will increase our capacity to make a greater impact in our community."
