The Factory play development process is always play and project specific with a commitment to the long-term development of the artist. Formal developmental activities include:

One-on-One Dramaturgy is an ongoing activity offered to selected playwrights.

In-House Readings using professional actors.

Workshops used for more fully developed scripts and more complex theatrical forms; creative team members are often involved.

Residencies offer playwrights office space, administrative support, and on-going dramaturgy; playwrights may apply for a residency trough the Ontario Arts Council or the Canada Council for the Arts or by invitation.

Natural Resources Creation Group consists of theatre creators who work individually to create a new piece but meet collectively for writing sessions and mutual support.  2011/12 members are: Reza Jacobs, Amy Lee Lavoie, Anusree Roy, Jordan Tannahill and Andre du Toit. 

Factory Wired is a festival of work in progress presented in the studio theatre.
