Theatre Ontario has been innovating new programs and training opportunities for theatre makers since 1971. We’re here to help you start strong, navigate uncharted territory, master new challenges, and continually grow and adapt. We connect you with the right people, training and resources to help you thrive at every stage of your theatre journey.
We are currently gearing up for our fall workshops! If you want to upgrade your skills, get the inside scoop on how to succeed, and learn how to navigate the theatre world, these workshops are for you! Take a sneak peek at some of our course offerings for 2015-2016, and start thinking about how Theatre Ontario can help take you to the next level.
Calling all actors! Our Career Stream includes several workshops designed just for you! From launching your career to understanding unions to rocking your next audition to kicking your stage fright, and even how to manage your finances – we have workshops to get you started and help you through all the rough patches so you can focus on what you do best!
Calling all producers! Ready to take the next step and finally turn that great idea into a show? Then our Creator Stream is for you! Here you’ll find workshops for anyone looking to produce their own work. Get the basics of self-producing in “Unleashing Your Inner Entrepreneur”, learn how to fund your show with our grant writing webinar, and explore other key skills like project management and proposal writing. We’re also offering an exciting workshop on producing site-specific theatre!
Busy schedule? Nowhere near the GTA? We’ve got you covered! In addition to scheduling our workshops on evenings, weekends, and Mondays/dark days, we also offer flexible online webinars. And if you want to save money while you pursue your theatrical goals, we offer substantial discounts on workshops for Theatre Ontario members. Our members find that the membership fee pays for itself after a minimum of two workshops (depending on membership type and workshop cost).
