Theatre Creators’ Reserve program

Wednesday, August 8 2007

This years program deadline has been met, please watch for
2010 Theatre Creators' Reserve Program in the fall of 2009.

The Blyth Festival is pleased to announce that it has once again been invited to participate in the Ontario Arts Council’s Theatre Creators’ Reserve program. Designed to provide funding for Ontario playwrights, the Theatre Creators’ Reserve is a third-party recommender program, administered by the Ontario Arts Council. Under this program, a number of Ontario’s professional theatres are given the opportunity to recommend writing or creation grants to professional theatre artists. This year, the Blyth Festival’s allocation of $6000 will be recommended to artists who demonstrate a clear understanding of the playwriting process. The minimum grant recommendation is $1000 and the maximum is $5000.

Theatre Creators’ Reserve program guidelines and applications are available on the OAC website: http://www.arts.on.ca
