Branch Out Productions

2023 Winner

"Branch Out Productions is ecstatic to win the first Jane LeBlanc Theatre Organization Award. BOP's directing team members will be trained as intimacy coordinators thanks to the award monies. This is an important step in strengthening the integrity of our arts community. This intimacy training will allow us to ensure the well-being of our actors while they do their important work in theatre. It will give us the necessary tools to approach any delicate subject matter with informed sensitivity. This training will also allow us to be a resource to other community theatre and film production teams." Ben Harrison.
