Cole Foundation Mentorship for Emerging Translators

The Cole Foundation Mentorship for Emerging Translators was set up to help identify and mentor the next generation of translators. The translation of new work for the stage is an important part of Playwrights’ Workshop Montréal’s programming. To share our expertise with emerging translators we have partnered with the Cole Foundation. The successful candidate receives a prize of $1,500, dramaturgical support on a new translation by renowned translator and dramaturg Maureen Labonté, and a translation workshop with professional actors.
