TheatreCon 2027 - Call for Session Proposals

After two previous successful iterations, the Saskatchewan Association of Theatre Professionals (SATP) is thrilled to once again host a conference (TheatreCon) for theatre and live performance folk. This conference, conceptualized and organized by the SATP, with funding support from Creative Saskatchewan, will feature numerous activities and events taking place on Treaty Six territory in downtown Saskatoon.

The theme of this year's TheatreCon is PLAY! We know it's a bit on the nose (any clowns in the room?), but with everything going on in the world, we want this conference to remind people how to enjoy the work they do, be youthfully reinvigorated into the creative process, and be inspired to fail BIG! like children do as they learn through playing.

We are currently seeking proposals for sessions on or related to the theme of "play" and how it connects to the world of theatre. Whether a hands-on or interactive workshop, lecture, or other type of presentation or activity, we'd love to talk to you about how your proposed session could be part of an enabling and inspiring conference for our members.

All presenters will be compensated and will be registered as a TheatreCon participant at no charge.

If you are located outside of Saskatoon and selected as a presenter, SATP will cover the cost of your hotel room for May 14-16, 2027.

Please note that the sessions/workshops must be presented on May 15th or 16th, 2027 in person in Saskatoon, SK.

We will accept session proposals until 11:59 pm CST on December 6th, 2026.

If you have questions about TheatreCon and want to talk to someone before you submit OR if you have an idea for TheatreCon that's unrelated to a session you wish to facilitate, please email Judith (please note: her response times may vary due to limited capacity).
