Kompany Family Theatre’s Second Annual
2010 NEW WORKS FOR YOUNG AUDIENCES PLAY DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME
Kompany invites Canadian playwrights to submit a complete draft, original play to the second annual Kompany Family Theatre New Works for Young Audiences Development Programme. Last year’s winning submission Zachary and the Storytelling Stones was developed and produced by Kompany and enjoyed a successful tour to Saskatoon, Winnipeg and Edmonton Fringe festivals, as well as multiple performances at Edmonton schools.
The top submissions to the New Works competition will be featured in a public reading on February 14th and the playwrights will receive individual dramaturgical feedback.
One play will be chosen from the top submissions to be developed further with a team of professional actors, dramaturges and director in Edmonton during the week of February 14 to 21, 2010.
