Screaming Weenie’s Clean Sheets 2012

April 12, 2012 by The Old Screaming Weenie Website
Screaming Weenie's Clean Sheets is the annual event of original queer-themed plays by both emerging and established Canadian playwrights. Plays were selected from an open, nation-wide call for submissions. This year's playwrights come from Vancouver and Toronto.

Playwrights are teamed up with a local team of actors and a dramaturge behind closed doors for a couple of days before they take to the stage to share these original new Canadian works.

All public readings are in the Performance Centre in the Roundhouse Community Arts & Recreation Centre as part of the 2012 Queer Arts Festival.
