Welcome to PlayWorks Ink 2007
the evolution of play!

Theatre Alberta and Alberta Playwrights’ Network join forces once again to present PlayWorks Ink 2007, a unique theatre conference and workshop event. Participate in outstanding workshops, be inspired by guest speakers, attend showcase readings of plays by some of Canada’s finest established and up-and-coming playwrights, and experience dynamic panel discussions over the course of a full weekend of theatrical magic.

To ring in our fifth year, we are thrilled to welcome special guests Morwyn Brebner and Kevin Kerr—two engaging writers and creators who will be conducting workshops, taking part in panel discussions, and sharing excerpts from their new works. Our exciting workshop line-up presents opportunities for theatre professionals as well as novices, educators and community theatre practitioners, and writers and creators of all theatrical stripes.

In addition to workshops, PlayWorks Ink is a community of artists. Get acquainted with colleagues from across the province at our panel discussions, play readings, and social events! Join us in Calgary for PlayWorks Ink 2007: a weekend of connection and sharing that will spark new ideas in the evolution of theatre.
