CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS!

THE POINT ARTIST RUN CENTRE IS LOOKING FOR ONE ACT PLAYS FOR OUR 2023 FLAGSTOP PLAY PROJECT AND THEATRE MENTORSHIP PROGRAM.

The Flagstop Play Project & Theatre Mentorship Program 2023 is a theatre arts incubation program that highlights BC playwrights, actors and directors. We ask writers to submit One Act plays to be produced/directed as part of the 2023 Flagstop Theatre Mentorship Program and ultimately performed at the Flagstop Theatre and Arts Festival in Whistler in August.  

Finalist plays will be selected from a varied cross section of BC based playwrights (new and established). The jury will be looking for unique voices, rich in cultural and social diversity. The three finalists plays will be produced/directed by three different directors; one play will selected from a First Nations, Métis or Inuk (Inuit) playwright and be directed by a First Nations, Métis or Inuk (Inuit) director in their community, one play will be produced in Whistler and one in the Lower Mainland.

SELECTED PLAYS
Each winning writer will then be teamed up with a director(s) and actors to work together through the program dates to produce their individual One Act Plays under the guidance of the Flagstop Play Project and Theatre Mentorship Program.

All three finalist playwrights will each receive $500!
