Deadline for Submissions – October 11, 2024

The Belfry’s INCUBATOR PROJECT aims to provide local Theatre Artists and/or Independent Theatre Companies an opportunity for creative exploration, without any pressure to produce results.

The Belfry’s CREATORS’ CIRCLE is an opportunity for local Playwrights to meet together, share their work, and receive dramaturgical feedback from Governor General’s Award-winning Playwright Kevin Kerr and Melissa Taylor.

The INCUBATOR PROJECT provides space in either the Belfry’s BMO Studio Theatre or Studio B for workshops and/or rehearsals, along with mentorship from members of the Belfry Staff—artistic, technical, and/or administrative.

Projects that require rehearsal space for exploration and development will be given priority.  Scheduling is dependent on space availability.

The CREATOR’S CIRCLE meets once a month between January and December 2025.
