Enbridge playRites Festival

Message from the Artistic Associate-Festival

      

It's happening right now, all around you.

It’s happening right now, all around you; there are stories and ideas and all the elements of a great play everywhere we look.

Bringing together the unique insights and talents of artists across the country, the plays in the 26th Annual Enbridge playRites Festival take their inspiration from the rolling Alberta foothills, the suburbs, the pages of the newspaper and the condo towers that rise above our heads. 

Whether they are inviting us to laugh at ourselves or moving us to a hip-hop beat, whether they are challenging us to engage in conversation about the energy industry or reminding us of the power of a single gesture, these are stories that have never been told before. Experience them here first as they premiere at Alberta Theatre Projects. 

An Enbridge playRites Festival passPort is the perfect way to see all four world premieres.  Grab the schedule; there are free public readings, discussions with the artists and events that celebrate the stories all around us.

See you at the theatre!

Artistic Associate - Festival

Every year at the Enbridge playRites Festival of New Canadian Plays, we gather theatre artists from across the nation to create and share four new world premieres with you. It’s a risky, rigorous and totally raucous five weeks of invention showcasing the awesome creativity of Canadian artists and the passion of our audience for new work.
