Playwright and play development through advocacy mentorship education and outreach. Programming assistance and partnerships with theatre organizations/producers. Providing dramaturgical and play development resources. Playwriting classes and professional development seminars for playwrights at all levels (beginner to professional). Our charitable work takes the form of providing the above programming to individuals at well below the market value for those services. Our organization uses our revenues to subsidize programming and services for our membership to make certain that they remain accessible for any and all. As a provincial organization our focus remains providing high quality services at incredibly accessible rates for artists and theatre creators in Alberta.
