Ontario, June 16th, 2022 - The Women’s Caucus of the Playwrights Guild of Canada (PGC) is pleased to announce the release of SureFire 2022, a special 50th Anniversary edition of this biennial initiative.
SureFire is modeled after the American Kilroys, who publish annual lists of un- or under-produced plays by women, trans, and nonbinary creators, and it complements like-minded Canadian actions, such as PLEDGE and The 49 List. In celebration of PGC’s golden anniversary, we departed from the usual methodology of calling on anonymous recommenders from the nation’s theatre community, and instead, PGC Women’s Caucus members were asked to submit two of their favourite plays by women, trans, or nonbinary artists in Canada.
Both Eva in Rio by Lior Maharjan and E-TRANSFERS by Lior and Merlin Simard were included in the long list of recommended plays.
