SPRINGBOARDS
NEW PLAY FESTIVAL
Sneak peaks at work by an array of exciting Canadian Playwrights
March 25th – 31st, 2024
Workshop West’s signature new play festival returns to celebrate new plays in process, March 25 through 31st. SPRINGBOARDS invites audiences to get up close and personal with the creative process.
This small-scale festival features staged readings of plays in development presented in a laid-back cabaret setting with just enough sound, light and staging light imaginations on fire. It’s an invitation to become part of the artistic process, and a testament to the power of a roomful of people discovering a story together.
Expect an exciting convergence of Edmonton theatre artists, readings, talk-backs, discussions, and cabarets that preview the electrifying Canadian theatre of tomorrow.
Why Heather chose SPRINGBOARDS
‘SPRINGBOARDS is the perfect expression of Workshop West’s mission: it supports playwrights by developing their plays in preparation for full production by providing them with sought-after opportunities to beta-test works in progress in front of live audiences. SPRINGBOARDS brings artists and audiences together, celebrating homegrown talent, innovation, and Edmonton’s famed start-up spirit.’
