Seeking Short Term Artist Accommodation

As a national theatre company, we often have artists from out of town working on our productions and residencies, and those artists need a place to stay! If you have a private room or a house/apartment that could temporarily house an artist or group of artists, please consider filling out our Billeting form. If we think you’re a good fit, we will reach out to you with more details. Thanks!


Call for Partner Organizations/Programming

Do you or your organization offer a free-to-participants workshop based on sharing skills, knowledge, or experience occurring in April 2025? Please feel free to reach out to us here as we would love to include as many community capacity building workshops at Awaken Festival 2025 as possible.


Call for Scripts

Gwaandak Theatre is always looking for script submissions from Indigenous playwrights to be considered for our Indigenous Summer Play Readings and Annual Fall Show. If you have a new script that may not be on our radar, or if you have a colleague with a great script, please get in touch!

Contact Colin, Artistic Director.
