Program Description
This program offers support for the artistic and operational activities of professional theatre companies and play development centres that are directly involved in the creation, production and dissemination of theatre works and in the development of new works and a limited number of professional theatre service organizations that are involved in the development of the theatre community.
Components
The program is divided into four components, which group together different types of organizations active in the Canadian theatre community. The grouping of organizations allows for more nuanced criteria and requirements and leads to a more profound and in-depth targeted assessment.
- Component I: Biennial support for a cycle of production
- Component II: Support for independent producing companies
- Component III: Support for companies with venues, including Production Centres
- Component IV: Support for Play Development Centres and National Service Organizations

Grant Amount
The entry level grant for each of the program’s components is $25,000.
For Component I, the grant is a fixed amount of $25,000 per year for each year in the biennial cycle.
