“The Springboards New Play Festival is a small but mighty force in the cultural life of our city and our province. It is the perfect expression of Workshop West’s raison d’être, and it is one of our key platforms to develop new plays towards production while implicating our audiences in the process. At Springboards, audiences are given a backstage pass into the world of playmaking, linking them to creators and their creative processes. Edmonton’s exciting and robust theatre community rallies around playwrights and their plays in an exciting week of the best new plays you’ll hear anywhere..”
