Support
The Paprika Festival is an entirely free-of-charge experience for our participants. Though all artist mentors are paid for their time, participants do not harbour that cost, nor do they pay for the workshops, panels or production costs which are all elements of the program. What Paprika provides is a barrier-free space for young artists to create new work, meet new people and have a great time. The organization is supported entirely by private and corporate donations, government grants, and the hardworking staff and volunteer Board of Directors.
We hope that you will consider helping us to continue supporting our next generation of theatre artists by donating to the Festival.

“The wonderful thing about theatre is that it is still so simple- you don’t need trailers, cameras, assistant directors, cinematographers, gaffers, grips, hair and makeup, location scouts, publicists, caterers, lawyers, dog trainers- all those people credited at the end of every movie. You just need a story, an actor or two and a place to perform. And an audience, of course.
I’m pleased to support the Paprika Festival in its mission to create a place where young theatre artists can meet, collaborate, and show their work. I hope that years from now many of them will be able to look back at this experience and remember exactly where the spark was ignited.”
