Join Our Mailing List
As this issue "goes to press", we are very close to launching our re-designed website.  Members will receive information on how to access our new "members only" section, while the public will benefit from improved listings, navigation, and a fresher, modern look.
 
Unfortunately, when the new site is launched, it means that links to specific pages on our current website will no longer function.  Some of the links in this newsletter won't work after launch, but we think that the new navigation will make that a minor inconvenience for you.  If you encounter difficulties, please contact Brandon Moore, Communications Coordinator, at [email protected] or 416.408.4556 x.15.

Jane CarnwathTheatre Ontario is pleased to announce that Jane Carnwath will be the adjudicator for the 2011 Theatre Ontario Festival in Richmond Hill.

Next Self-Start Session
 
Our first "Self-Start" session of the Fall has been scheduled for October 13, from 2pm to 4pm.
 
If you want to do a show but have never produced before, and if you want to know what questions to ask first, this session is for you! Self-Start is a practical seminar facilitated by Tim Chapman, Professional Theatre Coordinator, and sometimes featuring special guests.  This workshop is designed for individuals thinking of starting a theatre company or producing a show; and gives you the opportunity to ask questions and try out ideas, discover the questions you need to ask and answer, learn to organize your thinking and planning, work on scheduling and budget considerations, and learn about available resources and services.  Read more about Theatre Ontario's Self-Start Sessions
