The second annual Fostered Playwrights Festival presents three selections from emerging or established Canadian playwrights, professionally performed and directed in public readings over a weekend. The three scripts to be featured this year are Sew Far, Sew Good by Marnie Walsh, Packing Up by Alison Lawrence, and Every Little Thing by The Foster Festival’s Artistic Director Emily Oriold. In 2023, an astounding 72 submissions were received from across the country, and ultimately, Time & Tide by Jody Stevens McCluskey, received its world premiere production at the Mandeville Theatre in October 2024.
