Short Works Feminist Theatre & Performance Festival

Revolution They Wrote and MainLine Theatre are proud to present the third annual Short Works Feminist Theatre Festival. A 3 day event which showcases new short works of feminist performance and art. The goal is to create a space for feminist artists of all backgrounds to, gather, develop, and produce short works that explore themes of intersectional feminism.

What does feminist theatre and performance mean? We are open to any style or approach, however for a work to be considered feminist it needs to center on equality and the intersections of gendered oppression.

There is no cost to be a part of this festival or to receive its benefits.

The process:
* Proposals will be accepted until December 15, 2016.
* A jury will select the proposals to be supported by January 1.
* Over the course of 2017, the selected creators will begin work and will be given:
- One-on-one feminist dramaturgical support from the festival’s - artistic director;
- Access to 10 hours of rehearsal space at MainLine Theatre;
- Additional rehearsal space on a case by case basis;
- A public reading or performance of the work at the festival;
- A percentage of the box office funds based on the value of the opportunity;
- Other production-related support: promotional, technical and administrative.

Coming Soon

The Creator of the Universe is coming to Montréal for the first time ever! God takes the stage in the form of Montréal actor Donald Rees in An Act of God: the divinely funny, critically acclaimed Broadway hit play by David Javerbaum, in which God and His devoted angels answer the deepest questions that have plagued mankind since creation.

Confabulation Montreal presents: “Food Fights — Stories of family traditions, minced words and soul food.”

A hotel you can stay in…forever. Staff are eager to help, and metaphysical boundaries are mostly respected. That is, until a has-been celebrity comes to stay.
