Theatre Creators’ Reserve

Pat the Dog is once again accepting applications for Theatre Creators’ Reserve.

Equal consideration will be given to:

  • Artists who are new to Pat the Dog Theatre Creation;
  • New plays or projects by artists who have had an association with Pat the Dog Theatre Creation;
  • Artists interested in exploring new and innovative forms of theatrical expression.
