RCA Theatre is proud to announce the second year of the Chris Brookes Memorial Award, which gives $2000 to a local artist for a project in development or production in the following calendar year.

Seed funding for the Chris Brookes Memorial Award was provided by Henry and Helen Peters to establish a living legacy to honour the value and importance of Chris Brookes’ pioneering contributions to the performing arts in Newfoundland and Labrador. Chris understood the power of theatre to engage, unify, and empower people and communities.

The driving purpose behind his theatre work was to create positive change in the world. This award aims to support these values and encourage artists who wish to grow their theatre practice and leadership talents.

Submissions are now open. Deadline is December 15th at 5 pm. The CBMA will be awarded in January 2025.
