The 3rd Annual PWM Phone-a-thon:

Art is not a luxury. Art is a necessity. Art is essential to our humanity.

Please help us nurture the unique voices and stories of this country. By donating to Playwrights’ Workshop Montréal, you are actively supporting the work of theatre artists from across Canada, offering them the opportunity to explore and deepen their plays.

We rely on support from individuals like you, who believe in the transformative power of theatre to fund our core programming. Our goal is to raise $12,000 for PWM during our Third Annual Phone-a-thon. Please consider making a commitment. Your support - in any amount - will make a difference!

We will be calling some of you on the evenings of May 17, 18 or 19 to request your support. If you are not on our list but would like us to contact you, please email us at info@playwrights.ca, or call us at 514-843-3685.

Please take a moment to consider what you would be willing to donate to an organization that has been working tirelessly to support theatre in Montréal and across Canada. All gifts will be acknowledged on our website, and you will receive a tax receipt for the amount of your donation.

You can click HERE to make a convenient and quick contribution online through Canada Helps.

We thank you for your support!
