Your story matters. Let’s write the future — together.
Run in collaboration with The Blue Room Theatre, this workshop series welcomes emerging storytellers ready to explore the world of playwriting.
This program is created specifically for First Nations, CALD, and POC artists, writers and storytellers, designed to directly address systemic barriers to arts participation, and underrepresentation within the sector. We’re looking for bold voices, fresh ideas, and powerful perspectives. If you identify as First Nations, culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) or a person of colour (POC) and have a passion for storytelling — this is your moment.
About the Program
Introduction to Playwriting combines guided in-person sessions with flexible self-learning, giving you space to explore your story while building skills and community along the way.
The Program will involve two LABs, concluding with a reading event for industry professionals, and friends & family of participants. Each lab will be followed by an online check-in with program facilitator.
