"The seventy-four applications this year were the most received in at least eight years," said Tim Chapman, Professional Theatre Coordinator, "so the competition will be even keener than usual for this extremely valuable training project."

Inviting PTTP Applications For Fall 2010
Theatre Ontario is now inviting applications for the October 1, 2010 deadline for the Professional Theatre Training Program (PTTP), funded by the Ontario Arts Council.
The PTTP offers financial support for unique and flexible training with a chosen mentor in any theatrical discipline (except performance.) One can apply for professional development in his/her own discipline, or a "change of direction" in a career. To apply, applicants must have at least two years of professional experience following their formal education.

From Our Blog
Tim Chapman, Professional Theatre Coordinator, wrote about Toronto's Dora Awards, touching on this year's controversies, and his own experience as a juror. He also remembered former YTTP jury member Jimmy Douglas. Last month's article by Dennis Johnson about the trends in community theatre playwriting started some interesting discussion about the kinds of services Theatre Ontario can provide to support this kind of work. |
