Adriano Sobretodo • Nov 27, 2013

Theatre Smith-Gilmour is currently accepting submissions for the OAC Theatre Creators’ Reserve Program.  TSG has been mentoring young actors, directors and designers for the past 31 years as collaborators in the creation of new work.  Our role as a recommender will be an important vehicle to continue to establish new and nurture existing artistic relationships within our community.

We accept applications from individual artists and informal collectives based in Ontario who are seeking assistance in the development of new work that reflects our cultural diversity, celebrates collective creation, and inspires unique theatrical investigations.

Each application will be reviewed individually based on its own merits and needs by Dean Gilmour and Michele Smith, Co-Artistic Directors of Theatre Smith-Gilmour.

Submission Details:  To apply, artists will be asked to prepare the following:
1.       A letter or statement of intent that includes artistic goals and objectives relating to the work, and any other information about the project such as previous workshops or readings.  Also, include a brief statement describing how the project contributes to the development of the artist (3 pages max.)
2.       A project proposal and /or script excerpt (2 pages max. for proposal / 15 pages max. for script excerpt).
3.       An up-to-date CV or resume

5.       Video/audio support if applicable
6.       3 copies of the form available from the  OAC website
