NOt-To-Be-MISSED READINGS OFFERING A PEEK INTO THE HEART OF A PLAYWRIGHT’S CREATION PROCESS
Workshop West is excited to relaunch the popular Springboards New Play Festival this March inviting Edmonton audiences to play a vital part in the creation of Edmonton’s hot up-and-coming works in progress. This 6-day, small-scale festival, will feature staged readings of plays in development in a welcoming cabaret setting, showcasing Edmonton’s playwrights in a series of not-to-be-missed readings, and workshops which offer audiences a peek behind-the-curtain into the heart of a playwright’s creation process.

“I’ve known since I started at WWPT that I wanted to bring back this wildly popular program from the 90’s. It’s the essence of what makes Workshop West special. We have a commitment to supporting playwrights by developing AND producing their plays. The festival will bring artists and audiences together to celebrate the creative process: the generation of innovation and new thought in our city. ”
