Submitting to The Global Age Project
The GAP is Aurora Theatre Company's annual new play development program to nurture and explore forward-looking visions of global import. Potential topics include the environment, childcare, automation, cloning, life-span, family, currency, communications, business, politics, spirituality, warfare and entertainment to name a few. Comedic or serious, experimentation with innovative forms of theatrical storytelling is also encouraged.
