Abstract
In discussing working conditions in the professional theatre in Canada, it is important to understand the diversity of practices that exist in the theatre community. Theatre is produced using a range of models, including the conventional model of a play mounted by a company; but theatre can be created by collectives or by an individual. The theatre, also, no longer reflects just the Anglo-American tradition of drama but has expanded to reflect the storytelling, physical and visual traditions of theatrical practice derived largely from outside the European tradition. This expansion in the methods and practice of professional theatre presents an incredible challenge in trying to create uniform working conditions to suit all artists and theatres alike.
