ABOUT
Winnipeg Studio Theatre is a non-profit company founded in 2006, devoted to supporting and developing Manitoba Artists. On our professional stage, we produce, create, and develop Canadian and international contemporary plays and musicals. We strive to build bridges for artists from communities across Manitoba to the mainstages in Winnipeg and beyond. Our programming is designed to challenge our artists in a range of disciplines while also appealing to young adult performers and audience members alike, reinvigorating a new generation of theatregoers.
MANDATE
- To support the development and early stages of Manitoba artists’ careers.
- To create a bridge for Manitoba artists to professional stages
- To produce professional productions that provide challenging and diverse material.
- To make theatre more accessible to a wider demographic of performers and audiences.
VALUES
As a company, we believe in providing a safe, brave, and supportive space for artists to explore and continue developing their own professional practice.
We believe in making our productions accessible to all artists across the province. We will continue to examine and acknowledge the barriers that have limited artists’ engagement in the past and be open to new approaches that support greater accessibility.
We strive to be a resource to our community at large by facilitating professional experience through mentorship and connection opportunities for artists and companies alike.
