First Born Theatre’s Playwriting Roundtable is a 5-month long program where emerging playwrights work to develop new pieces of theatre with the support of emerging dramaturgs and facilitators. Each session, the roundtable focuses on creative and career building skills through a series of workshops led by different emerging artists in the Toronto theatre community, who we believe are the future leaders of our industry. The program concludes with a play-reading series where each artist has the opportunity to showcase their work.

Zoe Marín and Mercedes facilitate this program yearly. This year’s focus was plays with bilingual or multilingual elements. Learn more here.
