In May, Theatre Ontario held an Introduction to Adjudication course in London as part of our 2010 Festival. As the next step in that training, we are now looking for community theatre productions to give the trainees an opportunity to practice the skills that they learned at the course.
We are looking for productions that are not already scheduled for adjudication by someone else. (We would prefer not to subject you and your cast/crew to two adjudications for the same production!) Although we would prefer to do this in the fall, some course participants may ask to defer the event until later in the year because of other commitments. There may be a need for one or two available productions later in the season.
We would want to run the evening as a full adjudication, with a public adjudication immediately after the show, and then an hour-long private adjudication with company members. There will be no cost involved to the host group other than supplying the visiting adjudicator with a copy of your script.
Community Theatres interested in volunteering one of their productions should contact Dennis Johnson, Community Theatre Coordinator, at dennis@theatreontario.org, and let him know the title of the show, the playwright, and the available dates when a trial adjudication could take place.
Dennis, are any of the adjudicator 'trainees' from the Ottawa area?

Unfortunately, none of this year's trainees were from the Ottawa area (this year's all came from western Ontario, the GTA or northern Ontario.) We are looking at running the course again in 2011, and we hope we will get some applicants from the Eastern region.
