Overview

First Born Theatre (FBT) presents Reading Room : a quarterly event where a new Canadian play meets its actors and its audience for the very first time. No rehearsal. No second takes. You’ll watch as a cast of Toronto actors crack open a script they’ve never seen before and get to know it in real time alongside the play’s first audience.

Qualifications
Passionate about Recent Play Development
Have a draft of a current play that’s never been witnessed by an audience
Are based in Toronto/GTA
Prioritize kindness, community, and humour within their practice
Want to work with current actors and expand their artistic network
Create “un-traditional” work that is brave and pushes the bounds of theatre (whatever that means to you)

Compensation

Participants will earn a small honorarium for their time.

EEO

FBT prioritizes work from racialized, queer, and underrepresented voices in theatre.
