Thanks to colleagues from my former life in Science & Technology, I was able to get my sci-fi play fact-checked & submitted to a theatre company in preparation for SummerWorks - Who's on when will be announced at the end of June so you can plan to see the festival (Aug 1 to 11). Did you know that talents who premiered at SummerWorks' have moved on to your screens and local stages? Next on deck, keeping the fish swimming in "Go Fish" a new story. #inspired #WritersLife #playwright #theatre #theaTO #OldNotOutdated

It’s programming release day for SummerWorks Performance Festival 2024! In response to the current zeitgeist, the 2024 SummerWorks Performance Festival presents 11 days of bold creative expressions from a diversity of perspectives and lived experiences, that engage with the idea of survival, in both subtle and blunt ways, with nuanced complexity. With over 40 events and activities, all curated and designed around the idea of gathering together in public space, this year’s Festival offers you a moment to pause and reflect, to dive into the energy and chaos, and to witness dynamic live performances by independent artists from across Canada, and around the world. We invite you to join us this summer, for an inspiring, thought-provoking, and magical SummerWorks experience. Learn more about programming here: https://lnkd.in/gsi-aBXm Tickets go on sale July 11.
