One Night Stand

On March 27th at Artword Theatre, join members of the Playwrights Union of Canada in an evening of play readings. The event starts at 8 pm. Tickets are $8.00 and are available at the door.

This series gives established and emerging playwrights the change to debut their plays in front of an audience. Each playwright is given ten minutes and there are eight playwrights in an evening. It’s just like going to a short film festival for the theatre. This is an amazing chance to see new works before anyone else in the city!

The proceeds from the evening will go towards the fundraising efforts of the Women’s Caucus of the PUC. They are raising funds to send members to the International Conference of Women Playwrights in Athens this fall. Canadian playwrights are becoming increasingly prominent on the world stage and the Caucus hopes to send a sizeable delegation.

The Playwrights for March 27 are:

Djanet Sears
Caitlin Hicks
Jodi Miller
Tanya Palmer
Natalie Mesiner
Norma Harrs
Lindsay Price
Bonnie Anderson

All the playwrights are members of the playwrights union of Canada. All playwrights and actors are volunteering their time. This will be the fourth event. Other playwrights that have been involved are Carol Bolt, Linda Griffiths, Shirley Barrie, Florence Gibson, David French, Frank Canino, David Copelin and many more. Each playwright receives 10 minutes, most share scenes from the new plays they are working on. Every event has been completely different and all the plays have been different which makes for a very exciting evening of theatre.
