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
