The Edmonton Small Theatre Symposium by Beth Dart

Wow! We had a great turn out for the 4th annual Edmonton Small Theatre Symposium. It was great to see artists and producers from our vibrant community chat about the struggles and rewards of small and independent producing in our great city. A big thanks to our guest artists for bringing an outside perspective and to Hudson's on Campus for hosting us.
