About Dramatists In Dotage

Ten years ago a number of seniors decided to gather to support each other in writing plays. At first we met in the Riddell Hall cafeteria at the University of Winnipeg on Friday afternoons about every three weeks. The ambient noise of the students surrounding us allowed us to read our scripts aloud without disturbing others and without drawing attention to ourselves. Thus we got to hear what our plays sounded like when others read them and to receive encouraging and critical comments on what we had written. The Covid pandemic forced us online and we discovered the joys and tribulations of Zoom. Zoom allowed us to meet wherever we were, and we held meetings linked to Mexico, Israel, and Montreal. The Dotage group has been important in the development of a number of plays that have had professional productions, plays that have won contests or received honourable mentions, as well as two well-received short films.

So come on out and join us at the Gargoyle Theatre to see a sample of we’ve been up to!
