location_on Saskatchewan, CA

Playwright, director, and journalist, Arthur Milner had a long association with Ottawa’s Great Canadian Theatre Company (GCTC) where he was resident playwright and Artistic Director. Facts, a murder-mystery set in the Palestinian West Bank, premiered at GCTC, toured Palestine and Israel (in Arabic), and was produced in Istanbul (in Turkish) and London. Getting to Room Temperature — “a hard-hitting, sentimental and funny one-person play about dying” — premiered at Ottawa’s Undercurrents Festival, toured British Columbia, and was recently produced by Regina’s Curtain Razors. Souffler la veilleuse, a French translation by Jean Marc Dalpé, will be produced by Saskatoon’s La Troupe du Jour early in 2025.

Milner has worked as a dramaturg for the Banff Centre for the Arts, Manitoba Association of Playwrights, and Playwrights Workshop Montreal. He taught playwriting at Concordia University and theatre history, most recently at the University of Regina. He is a featured columnist of inroadsjournal.ca.
