Theatre Creators' Reserve

Cahoots is now accepting applications for Theatre Creators’ Reserve!

Cahoots Theatre Projects is a theatre recommender for the Theatre Creators’ Reserve. This program allows Ontario artists time and support to work on new creations by applying to theatre companies who in turn recommend funding from the Ontario Arts Council.

Bea Pizano – The Communion
Michael Rubenfeld and The Suck and Blow Collective – Suck and Blow

Artists interested in applying for this year's program are asked to review the Cahoots’ mandate. In keeping with our mandate, preference will be given to artists that reflect Cahoots’ core beliefs and values. Cahoots strongly encourages submissions from artists working in non-text disciplines, or with diversity of practices and approach.
