Info in Current Season

Origins Theatre Projects is an incorporated non-profit society dedicated to producing original Canadian theatre. We are a Vancouver based project-by-project company.

We honour the original work of playwrights at Origins. We enjoy serving texts with lyrical language and that have something to say about our world. Some productions include the 4 time Jessie nominated Blue Dragons by Gordon Armstrong; Telling Tales, Touching Tongues at the VECC Youth Week by Sara Graefe and Anne Fleming; Wasps by Sally Clark, and Yellow On Thursdays by Sara Graefe.

Shoots and Roots program
We also assist emerging artists with our community building projects-- including the early work of artists such as Craig Hall; and Shane Drouker.

Gordon Armstrong Playwrights Rent Award
As a legacy of our first production in Vancouver, we celebrate the hard work of playwrights by presenting this award annually ever since Gordon's untimely death in 1996.

While we occasionally produce films, our focus in Vancouver has been theatre.  Sometimes we have produced and reimagined rare classics for the contemporary stage.  We have a keen interest in work with social issues and artistic content that entertains and inspires.
