Training Enhancement Programs

Factory Theatre’s Training Enhancement Programs is a workshop intensive for early career artists to collaborate, connect and create new work.

Over the course of three weeks, our cohort of selected artists become members of a small theatre company where they participate in masterclasses, workshops, and readings, to stage a short performance work that is showcased at the end of the program.

The playwrighting program is facilitated by Kalale Dalton-Lutale and Gillian Clark. Makram Ayache is facilitating the directing program and Khadijah Roberts-Abdullah spearheads the acting program. Each of these streams supports artists in deepening their craft while expanding their experience creating new plays.
