The Banff Playwrights Colony

The Banff Playwrights Colony is a residential program allowing playwrights the opportunity to develop a work with the support of dramaturges and with shared access to a small resident company of professional actors/readers. The Colony is an artist-defined program, meeting the specific needs of each participant. Playwrights select the dramaturges with whom they wish to work. When the dramaturge is not available, the Colony will, upon the playwright’s request, appoint a resident dramaturge to work on the project. Creative dialogue is encouraged among playwrights at different stages of their careers and writing processes.
