FOLLOW THE PLAYWRIGHT
Mentorship Edition
Jake Pascoe
Hello Members,
To offer meaningful professional development opportunities and to nurture playwriting, PGC partners with the Ontario Sears Drama Festival to provide a six-month mentorship opportunity and public reading for an emerging playwright.
In this special Mentorship Edition of Follow the Playwright, it is with pleasure that I introduce you to Jake Pascoe. Pascoe's Monster cleverly examines the relationship between a young boy and the monster in his room who comes out while he is sleeping. When Death makes an unexpected appearance, our perception of death is not only addressed but challenged.
This is the program's third mentorship opportunity, with Jake Pascoe being mentored by Dennis Foon. In 2013, Rosa Laborde was selected by Curtis te Brink, the Sears Festival Playwright Award-winner, to work on one of his plays. A public reading of Curtis' work took place during PGC's Tom Hendry Awards event. In 2012, Ed Roy mentored Bilal Baig.
