FREE STAGES: THE UNSEEN FUTURE OF THEATRE
FREE ONLINE SEMINARS FOR THEATRE PRACTITIONERS OF ALL KINDS

On three Sundays in April, playwright Scott Sharplin will host Zoom-based workshop/seminars exploring the post-pandemic future of live theatre.

Free Stages: The Unseen Future of Theatre is a three-hour event for directors, designers, playwrights, and other theatre practitioners. On Zoom, groups of 12 will discuss adapting to post-COVID practices, with questions about aesthetics, audience dynamics, and delivery methods. Transcripts of the conversations will be available.

The seminars occur at the following times in Atlantic Daylight Time (GMT-4):

  • Sunday, April 11 (2-5pm)
  • Sunday, April 18 (2-5pm)
  • Sunday, April 25 (2-5pm)

Scott Sharplin is a Canadian playwright, director, and theatre educator based in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. His thirty years of experience includes Fringe festivals, community theatres, professional and semi-professional companies, play development centres, applied theatre, and post-secondary teaching. In Sep. 2020, Scott also had a taste of online theatre when he curated Paths Less Traveled, a verbatim theatre project delivered through Zoom. Since then, he has been pondering how our collective experience of “pandemic culture” will affect our industry’s writing, producing, and spectating.
