Advance Theatre Festival 26/27 – DEADLINE: 2026/05/15

For over ten years, Ruby Slippers Theatre’s Advance Theatre Festival has developed and showcased five dramatic readings over five days of new works written and directed by equity-deserving artists. Many of these plays go on to be fully professionally produced.

If you are a playwright and your play is chosen to participate in the Advance Theatre Festival, Ruby Slippers Theatre, in partnership with The Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, will cover the costs of all rehearsals prior to the day of the reading, your technical rehearsal, promotion, theatrical venue, and all artists’ fees.
