Infinithéâtre is inviting members of the public across Canada to The Infinite Playwrights' Chat Room to participate online in the development of a series of exciting new plays. Once a week, a different script of a work-in-progress from six Québec playwrights will be released. If the synopsis of the play intrigues you or you enjoy reading early work and being part of the process, they are looking for your input to help develop and write the next draft. The Infinite Playwrights' Chat Room runs Thursdays, May 14-June 25.
