TACTICS Development Series is a space where we provide independent theatre creators, emerging playwrights and collectives with the opportunity and resources to development their work in progress, affording artists the opportunity to take risks and stay focused on creation.

We believe that to build and maintain an audience for live theatre, productions must provide consistent meaningful theatrical experiences that represent diverse voices and respond to the challenges of our world.

We aim to support Ottawa-based creatives in ways that best serve their work and artistic practice through this series.
