First Born Theatre Reading Room – DEADLINE: Ongoing
First Born Theatre Company
Description
First Born Theatre (FBT) presents Reading Room: a quarterly event where a new Canadian play meets its actors and its audience for the very first time. No rehearsal. No second takes. You’ll watch as a cast of Toronto actors crack open a script they’ve never seen before and get to know it in real time alongside the play’s first audience.
In search of playwrights who:
- Are passionate about New Play Development
- Have a draft of a new play that’s never been witnessed by an audience
- Are based in Toronto/GTA
- prioritize kindness, community, and humour within their practice
- want to work with new actors and expand their artistic network
- create “un-traditional” work that is brave and pushes the bounds of theatre (whatever that means to you)
Participants will earn a small honorarium for their time.
These applications are considered on a rolling basis. When you submit they will add your submission to their database, meaning if they don’t contact you for the upcoming Reading Room, you will still be up for consideration for any of the impending Reading Rooms. They are currently producing the August 26th Reading Room.
FBT prioritizes work from racialized, queer, and underrepresented voices in theatre.
Thank you for your time and energy. FBT looks forward to getting to know you!
