The Sears Ontario Drama Festival and Tarragon Theatre have teamed up to create the Young Director's Project. Every year over 40% of the Toronto area scripts in the Sears Ontario Drama Festival are new student written plays. The Young Director's Project will meet on Thursday evenings after school from 5pm-8pm and is intended to help train young directors on how to develop new scripts with young playwrights. The Sears Ontario Drama Festival will provide TTC tickets for transportation to and from the Tarragon Theatre.

Please note: There is a limited enrolment of 10 students for this program.

Past Guests have included: Richard Rose, Daniel MacIvor, Morwyn Brebner and Andrea Ramoldi.

For more information, please have your teacher contact Andrew Lamb at 416.536.5018 x229 or via e-mail , or alternatively they can contact the Sears Ontario Drama Festival.

I was able to grow as a director so much simply because I felt so much more prepared in the rehearsal room. Knowing what to focus on within a scene and the script gave me more confidence in my abilities. Katie Corbridge
