The Steady State Theatre Project

The Steady State Theatre Project is calling all Toronto playwrights and new play developers!

Steady State is currently accepting applications for our two central programs:

•  The Steady State Playwright’s Unit works on the development of new plays that are already in progress. The Unit involves regular group development meetings, monthly presentations and one-on-one dramaturgy. These plays are showcased as part of a Script Scrap, a week- long festival at the end of the spring.

• The Steady State Writers’ Circle focuses on the initial development of new plays. The applying playwrights are expected to come forward with a starting point or an idea and the group works collaboratively on the expansion of these starting points into plays. After a six-month period, meeting twice a month, readings of excerpts from these plays-in-development are presented as part of Script Scrap in the spring.

New play development through our program has resulted in the development of dozens of new plays – many of which have gone on to festival or professional productions. We provide an opportunity for selected applicants to take their work to the next level, whether that is a first draft, workshop, production or grant.

Space is limited for these programs and applications will only be accepted until November 20^th at 10pm.

All interested applicants should submit (in PDF format):

• A bio and resume
• A letter of intent which outlines your play (for the Unit)
• A letter of intent which outlines your idea (for the Circle)
• A 5-page script sample (for the Unit)
