Robin Whittaker argues that new plays can thrive in amateur theatres, which have freedoms unavailable to professionalised companies. And he proves it with ten relevant, engaging play scripts originally produced by one of Canada’s longest-running theatres, Edmonton’s acclaimed Walterdale Theatre Associates. This collection challenges notions that amateur theatre is solely a phenomenon of the pre-professional past. In this, the first North American anthology in eighty years, Whittaker makes an important contribution to Canadian theatre studies.
