TOsketchfest Priorities – Recommender Grants for Theatre Creators Program
The Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival is recommending comedy projects only. Specifically, we’re recommending the development of Sketch Comedy projects from an existing sketch troupe or a collection of comedians who want to collaborate on a comedy project. The project must be related to sketch comedy (scripted short-form comedy), solo sketch, clown, musical short-form comedy, or comedic drag (improv, stand-up, or productions of theatre scripts will not be recommended). We aim to support artists and comedy projects based in Toronto, and in Eastern Ontario (with a special focus on Hastings/Prince Edward County). We encourage applications from artists who self-identify as members of OAC priority groups.
