Upcoming Events
Offline: In-person gatherings for company leaders
Hosted by Touchstone Theatre, PACT, and the GVPTA, these gatherings are a chance for folks in leadership roles within the Vancouver Theatre Community to connect with each other and discuss issues in our sector and how we can face them together. These sessions are meant to build community connectivity, and bring together local arts leaders at all stages of their careers to foster mutual support. We'll start the session off with introductions, followed by a round-table discussion topic, and then some time to mix and mingle. We hope you'll join us on Monday, January 12 from 3pm - 5pm at the Post 750 (110-750 Hamilton street, Vancouver). Snacks and non-alcoholic beverages will be supplied.
