We’re pleased to announce our first Fall workshops

• Proposal Writing: Creative Approaches to Creative Proposals, with Denise Bolduc on September 9 at 4pm in Toronto – A workshop for individuals and theatre organizations applying for funding and sponsorships: Change the grant-writing nightmare to a positive creative experience by learning relevant tools and valuable information to improve your chances of success.  Just in time for the Canada Council Granting Deadline on September 15!
• Playwriting: Idea to First Draft, with Lindsay Price on September 14 in Toronto – A workshop for emerging playwrights: Sometimes the hardest step in the playwriting process is the first. Where do I find inspiration? How do I develop an idea? What if my idea fizzles out halfway through?
• Playwriting: How to Self-Edit and Critique, with Lindsay Price on September 15 in Toronto – A workshop for emerging plays: Plays are not written in the first draft. Plays come to life in rewrites. But re-write how? What if we don't know how to move our work forward? What if we don't know how to critique our own work? What if we aren't sure how to process feedback from others? This workshop offers tools and techniques for playwrights who have a play “under construction.”
• Smart Marketing: Adapting to the New Reality, with Cheryl Ewing on September 21 in Toronto – What do your patrons expect from their night at the theatre?  How can you help them to meet their expectations?  How do you use your existing audience to help you find a new audience?  Find out in the full-day workshop

We’re also still accepting registrations for our Summer Theatre Intensive courses in acting and directing.
