PLAYWRIGHTS RETREATS
The Gillespie House Playwrights Retreat (GHPR) is an entirely self-directed paid opportunity for Ontario playwrights developing new works that are epic and mythic in nature. We currently support both emerging and established Ontario-based playwrights with projects that are in early stages of development.
What we offer:
- A week-long stay at The Gillespie House (all accommodation expenses covered)
- A travel stipend to and from The Gillespie House within Ontario
- Complimentary daily breakfast
- Access to support from our on-site dramaturg Caitie Graham, if desired.
- Fellowship opportunities with other invited playwrights
- Optional group activities in and around Prince Edward County
- An honorarium of $750.00
The Gillespie House Playwrights Retreat is designed to serve as a launching point for a playwright’s biggest, dreamiest ideas. Our aim is to provide a supportive, no-strings-attached environment, where playwrights are accountable only to their own creative impulses and desired gains from the experience.
