An Open Letter to the Jessie Richardson Board of Directors

A group of concerned theatre artists in Vancouver (lead by ReAct) have written an open letter to the Vancouver Jessie Society critiquing the lack of diversity on Jessie juries and the resulting lack of recognition at the awards themselves. 150 artists from around the city have signed the letter. There are a number of issues raised in the letter that are at once connected to, but also separate from, the Vancouver professional theatre awards.

A response has been posted by the Jessie board. Both are published below.

Have a look. Do you have a position? A comment? Do you see an elephant in the...

Tonight's the night!

Tonight, Pi Theatre will join the Vancouver theatre community at The 33rd Jessie Richardson Theatre Awards.

We'll be celebrating our production of Blasted by Sarah Kane, which is nominated for eight awards - the most nominations for any single production.

But most of all, it got people talking, which was one of our main reasons for bringing it to the stage. We were overwhelmed by the responses and feedback from critics and audience members alike, and we cannot...

Come join the Pi Congregation!

Pi Theatre has had an incredible year! We celebrated our 30th anniversary with multiple events, including a sold out Sunday Soul Brunch. We took Between the Sheets on tour to Victoria (only the second tour in Pi history). Our playwright-in-residence, Jordan Hall, had her play How to Survive an Apocalypse chosen as the 2016 Firehall Arts Centre, Touchstone Theatre and PTC's Flying Start project, and we blew up the stage in Blasted, which garnered 8 Jessie Richardson Award nominations. *fingers crossed for some wins*

Our 2015/16 season will be just as big, including two works in development, a...

Pi is heading off to PACT!

In just a few days, both Richard and I will be heading to Toronto to take part in the Professional Association of Canadian Theatre's annual conference. Pi has been a member of PACT since 1991, and although Richard has attended a number of times, this will be my first conference.

I'm very excited to meet other theatre professionals from across the country, talk to them and learn about what they are doing. It's going to be a busy four days, but I can't wait!
