Common Ground’s Producer Lab is our way of demystifying the indie producing process and getting Edmonton’s artists access to knowledge and networks in our theatre community.
We’re bringing two Producer Lab offerings to our 2026 RISER New Works Festival: Two Skill Shares and three days of the Producer Lab Café!
Skill Shares
Our Producer Lab Skill Shares are bite-sized offerings to add to your producing toolbox. Each Skill Share is a one-hour session including a 20-30 minute presentation and discussion on a particular topic in indie producing.
Join us May 30 for Tech Week with Kat Evans or May 31 for Design with Erin Gruber!
Café
Our Producer Lab Café program invites indie artists to book one-on-one meetings with artistic leaders to chat about the fun (and challenge) of theatre producing.
Registration is opening soon to book free one-on-one meetings with one of nine guests from Concrete Theatre, Major Matt Mason Collective, Teatro Live, Citadel Theatre, Thou Art Here, Shadow Theatre, Varscona Theatre, and Common Ground!
