Festival
is currently accepting submissions for its upcoming week long
celebration,
scheduled to take place <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">August 21
– 27,
2006</span></b>. The AfriCanadian Playwrights’ Festival will be
presented
by CanStage in association with <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 17.25pt;"><font
face="Times New Roman" size="1"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">This
tri-annual gathering
will feature a remarkable range of events including Showcase Workshop
Productions, staged readings, script readings, a conference component,
and our
legendary Playwrights Guild sponsored Salon Luncheons, where writers
give voice
to their own work, accompanied by a sumptuous mid-day feast. In all,
the
festival will involve the most substantial gathering of Black theatre
practitioners and African Canadian theatre scholars nationwide. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 17.25pt;"><font
face="Times New Roman" size="1"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Inspired
by August
Wilson’s groundbreaking speech, “The Ground on Which I
Stand,” the first AfriCanadian Playwright's Festival in 1997 gathered
nearly 50 Canadian playwrights of African decent for a celebration of
Black
playwriting in Canada. The festival included a Keynote Session with
Ricardo
Khan: Crossroads Theatre: <st1:country-region w:st="on">USA</st1:country-region>;
Yvonne Brewster: Talawa Theatre: <st1:country-region w:st="on">UK</st1:country-region>;
and George Elliot Clarke: Playwright, Poet, and Professor: <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Canada</st1:place></st1:country-region>.
There
was a week long playreading series, as well as panel discussions and a
celebratory evening where all of the nearly 50 playwrights in
attendance read a
brief excerpt from one of their works for the stage. The millennium
edition of
the AfriCanadian Playwrights’ Festival was much larger in scope and
featured a keynote dialogue with noted Canadian born, Tony Award
winning
director, Lloyd Richards and Nobel laureate Derek Walcott. The
millennium
edition also saw the addition of Workshop Productions which showcased a
number
of new works in the later stages of development by presenting them with
production elements (set, costumes and lights). Moreover, Playwrights
Canada
Press published: <u>Testifyin’: Contemporary African Canadian Drama,
Vol. </u>I, an anthology of Black Canadian plays, the first collection
of its
kinds in this country. The 3<sup>rd</sup> edition of the festival in
2003,
(our most successful to date) </span></font><font size="1"><span
style="font-size: 9pt;" lang="EN-CA">showcased and presented the work
of more African
Canadian playwrights and theatre practitioners than ever before</span></font><font
size="1"><span style="font-size: 9pt;">. The festival also endeavoured
to broaden
the spectrum of African Canadian playwrighting and theatre in the
Canadian
cultural studies arena with the addition of a conference component and
the
publication of volume II of <u>Testifyin’: Contemporary African
Canadian
Drama</u>.</span></font><font size="1"><span style="font-size: 9pt;"
