PLAYWRIGHTS / IN THEIR OWN WORDS / READINGS AND CONVERSATION / LIVE AT HPR
Ever wondered how plays go from great idea to opening night? And what about that sometimes-glorious-sometimes-torturous space in between? Launched in 2020 as a 6-part series of online events, Words In Progress takes the leap into live with its first ever in-person installment, setting up shop at the High Performance Rodeo. Designed as a platform for playwrights to connect, converse, and share their work, this event features four unique and celebrated playwrights sharing 15-minute selections of plays in development. With plenty of room for conversations, questions, and the occasional debate, Words In Progress invites audiences to cozy up for an evening amongst artists, offering rare and entertaining insight into the creative process, and a sneak peek at some of Canada’s next great plays.
Hosted by playwright and curator LOUISE CASEMORE (Undressed, GEMINI), with Special Guest KODIE ROLLAN (Chromatic Theatre).
Featuring readings of new plays from STEPHEN MASSICOTTE (Mary’s Wedding, The Clockmaker), NATALIE MEISNER (Legislating Love, Speed Dating For Sperm Donors), TIFFANY THOMAS (The Rocky Mountain Special), and ARUN LAKRA (Sequence, Heist).
Presented with generous support from the Playwright’s Guild of Canada PlayConnect program, and One Yellow Rabbit’s High Performance Rodeo.

CALL: Finding Peace and Joy Within
2024-01-17 10:00 - 12:00 | cSPACE Marda Loop, 1721 29 Avenue Southwest, Calgary, AB, T2T 6T7, Canada
There is a universal human desire to be happy and to avoid suffering. We try to fulfill that desire through our outer world – family, career, service, hobbies, recreation, etc. Through modern technology, we now have wealth and health to an extent that our ancestors (and many in developing nations) could only dream of. Yet which of us is truly happy and free of suffering? Do you have the feeling that “something” is missing?
We have known since we were small children that we have a mind and a body. However, we have a third, inner resource that we easily overlook, that can provide a source of joy and respite from suffering.
Please join us at “Finding Peace and Joy Within” to have a direct experience of this resource to help you have a happier and more fulfilled life.
You must be a member of CALL.
