Early-Career Playwrights Cohort + Show Pass

This program is designed to create access for early career playwrights to new Canadian/Turtle Island theatre, and foster conversations and dialogue that deepen their craft and processes. Each participant will receive a pass to all shows during Touchstone’s current season, as well as have the opportunity to participate in artist talks, readings, and a masterclass in playwriting.

24/25 Program Agenda

  • Artist Talks with Anosh Irani and Gavan Cheema
  • Masterclass in Playwriting led by Marcus Youssef
  • Open Mic Night with dramaturgical assistance provided by Daniela Atiencia

The 2024/2025 cohort is now FULL. Stay tuned for news on the next intake.
