In 2010, British Columbia provincial funding for the arts dropped a total of 32.4 per cent, limiting resources to help professional artists generate new work. Pi Theatre produces live works for the stage and mentors emerging artists to propel them into professional careers in theatre.
The company plans to organize a script-development workshop to support its current playwright-in-residence, Sean Devine, as he crafts his second full-length play, Except in the Unlikely Event of War. During the three-day workshop, actors will read through and rehearse the script so that Devine can hear his words spoken and get an idea of what works and what doesn't on stage. This process can prove immeasurably useful when it comes to editing and rewriting the play. The workshop concludes with an audience viewing to get feedback from an informed public and prepare the work for the stage.
Join G-Team and donate $10 to help support an emerging Canadian playwright. If G-Team members raise $400, then Pi Theatre can fund its production-development workshop for Sean Devine’s new script, Except in the Unlikely Event of War. Each additional $10 raised will go toward venue fees, writer's fees, and other costs related to the workshop. G-Team members who register their Groupons can also receive a behind-the-scenes look at the script development process.
Unlike traditional Groupon deals, G-Team campaigns typically don't offer you a "discount" or "savings." So "buyer" beware—when you click "Buy" to donate your time or money to a worthwhile G-Team cause, the only discount you may receive is 100 per cent off free, priceless karma. Read more about G-Team.
