EDMONten (in Partnership with Alberta Playwrights’ Network)

Originally created and curated by Tracy Carroll, Conni Massing, and Michelle Vance Hehir, EDMONten is a play competition that invites Edmonton playwrights to submit their ten-minute creations. Over the past 3 years, there have been over 60 submissions, 15 of which have been given public readings. This year, with the support of the Edmonton Arts Council and in partnership with Alberta Playwrights’ Network, we are thrilled to present EDMONten at Springboards. These plays may be short, but they pack a punch!

Playwrights: Bridgette Boyko, Victoria Kibblewhite, AJ Hrooshkin, Linda Wood-Edwards, and Calla Wright

Director: Andrew Ritchie
