ADFA and Pumphouse Theatre: Calgary Region One Act Play Festival 2025: Call for Volunteers!
The Pumphouse Theatre is looking for volunteer ushers for each night of the upcoming Calgary Region One Act Play Festival happening April 3rd – 5th, 2025. Volunteers get to see the shows for free!
The Writers’ Guild of Alberta Annual 2025 Spring Conference will explore major influences on genre and form through time. We will look at how writers continue to be inspired and influenced by those before them, and how we shape the landscape for those who come after us. Workshops, masterclasses, and panels will also delve into the business of writing and how to strengthen craft skills.
