The Playwrights’ Unit, now going into its fourth year, is a year-long residency program designed to nurture promising playwrights. The writers will develop new plays over the course of the residency – with the Playhouse audience and resources of both the Springer Theatre and Firehall Theatre in mind. These works will be developed through:
1Monthly collaborative meetings in Gananoque: an opportunity to exchange theatrical ideas and impulses.
2Dramaturgical support from Associate Artistic Director Rob Kempson and Artistic Director Ashlie Corcoran.
3A week-long writing retreat in May in Gananoque. Accommodation provided by the theatre.
4A four-hour workshop of the writers’ script in August.
5Full day workshops during our Sneak Peek Week in December 2016 – a series of free public readings of the playwrights’ work.
