Theatre Ontario Hosts Two Grant Writing Information Sessions

Theatre Ontario is excited to announce that we are hosting two free information sessions on grant-writing, with Pat Bradley from the Ontario Arts Council and Michael Du Maresq and Margo Charlton of the Toronto Arts Council.  The first session on September 12 is for theatre organizations and collectives; the second session on September 19, is for individual theatre artists.

Space in these workshops will be available exclusively to Theatre Ontario members until August 30, and then opened to the public on a first-come, first-served basis.
