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.
The Gillespie House Playwrights Retreat is currently accepting applications for 2025 intake. For more information, click here.
