PTC is collecting Aeroplan Miles to bring in playwrights from across the country to take part in PTC's Writers' Colony.

Now entering its seventh season, PTC's Writers' Colony has nurtured the work of 28 writers to date, including Elaine Avila, Brian Fidler, Lucia Frangione, Joan Kivanda, Greg MacArthur, Elyne Quan, Gordon Pengilly, and David Yee. Previous PTC Colony alumni have seen their work go on to production in Vancouver, across the United States, and as far away as Dublin and Panama. The Writers' Colony creates a community of artists to support in depth writing and dramaturgy on plays that are between first draft and first production.

"The PTC playwright’s colony was one of the most valuable experiences I've had in my twenty-five years in the business. I went in with a collection of poetic stories and came out with a driven active play...One of the most educational aspects of the colony was watching the three other wildly different writers in process and to dialogue with them about their work: how they survive, what theatre is like in their province. This colony connected me to the country."
- Lucia Frangione (2011 Colony Playwright)
