About Us
Playwrights Guild of Canada
From our modest beginnings in 1972, a time when “Canadian theatre” was in its infancy to our current position as our nation’s most recognized organization serving the business, community and advocacy needs of Canadian playwrights, our focus has remained the same: to enhance the lives of playwrights so that they can tell their stories.
Playwright of the Month
Each month we interview member playwrights to share their work, stories and inspiration with the community.
