EMERGING VOICES

Call for submissions to TheatreOne’s Emerging Voices new play development program

TheatreOne’s Emerging Voices is now accepting submissions for the 2023-2024 season!

Emerging Voices is an annual series of workshops and staged readings of three new, original plays by local and regional playwrights. Participating playwrights benefit from dramaturgical support before, during and after the workshops, have the opportunity to engage with professional artists during the workshops and see their plays read before live audiences, receiving valuable feedback from actors and patrons.

Interested playwrights are invited to submit scripts to TheatreOne’s Artistic Associate, Tamara McCarthy at: ev@theatreone.ca. To meet eligibility criteria, playwrights must reside in Canada and the scripts must be original plays that have not received a professional production. Submission deadline for

new scripts will be August 28, 2023. Final script decisions will be chosen by September 5, 2023 but further submissions are always welcome. There is no fee for submitting or for taking part. Selected playwrights will receive an honorarium based on PGC workshop rates.

Emerging Voices and TheatreOne supports Equity and inclusion in Theatre.
