Abstract

They come to Calgary’s Centre for the Performing Arts from sixteen high schools in and around Calgary on a snowy Friday night in February. The 150 students are here to participate in Alberta Theatre Projects’ (ATP) fourth Annual THEATRE-BLITZ! As orginally conceived by ATP’S former Artistic Associate, Allen McInnis, THEATRE-BLITZ! is an opportunity for high school students to work collaboratively under the guidance of theatre professionals on new scripts written by their peers. Professional directors, designers and acting coaches work with the students during the weekend in a series of workshops. The focus of the weekend is on the playwriting process, although the weekend does conclude with presentations of the works in progress.
