GOALS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This program offers artistic and financial support to one working* playwright residing on the island of Montr\u00e9al,\u00a0including dramaturgical collaboration, a professional workshop with actors, and a\u00a0<\/strong>residency leading to a presentation to programmers and peers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AMPLIFIER seeks to foster dialogue between Montr\u00e9al\u2019s English and French speaking theatre communities, as well as intercultural exchanges and greater representation for culturally diverse artists within the theatre community and on Montr\u00e9al\u2019s stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to support artists creating in French and artists creating in English, CAM<\/a> et La Serre<\/a> offer this program alternately with the Centre des auteurs dramatiques<\/a> (CEAD) in French (R\u00e9sidence Voix Th\u00e9\u00e2trales), and with PWM<\/a> in English. The 2025-2027 edition is intended for artists working in the English language. PWM supports English language minority artists in Quebec, therefore the work with PWM will take place in English. Applications are to be submitted in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please refer to the Program Presentation (PDF)<\/a> for more details about what this partnership includes, program eligibility criteria, and other conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
