I would say that, creatively, there’s a lot of support. There’s support financially, there’s support community-wise, which I think is very helpful when starting out as an independent or established filmmaker. There’s just a lot of opportunity.

Shot over the course of five years, Gibson’s deeply empathetic documentary follows three residents of the stigmatized Regent Park neighbourhood in Toronto as they struggle on the road to hopeful recovery. Generous and devoid of easy gawking, Gibson’s journey is unforgettable.

NotaBle Acts Free Playwriting Workshop with Jill Connell, July 19

NotaBle Acts Theatre Company is excited to offer this free workshop with our 2026 Playwright/Dramaturg in Residence, Jill Connell. This workshop is being held in conjunction with the NotaBle Acts Summer Theatre Festival, which will take place from July 22-August 1 at venues across Fredericton. Visit www.nbacts.com for full lineup, schedule, and ticket information.

Playwriting & Embodied Experience

Sunday, July 19, 2026
12:00pm – 3:00pm
UNB Carleton Hall room 304
No charge

A workshop for creative writers and theatre-makers interested in exploring the form and structure of plays. We will use free-writing exercises to explore our experience of the world and the feeling of things (versus an objective or outside perspective about the “logic” of things). We will then look for an associated shape that might contain this experience in live performance and explore this via dramatic writing. We’ll share these aloud with each other, prioritizing availability over interpretation and experimentation over perfection.

All levels of experience are welcome. Please bring a notebook and pen. Limited spots available: email [email protected] to register by July 17.

Jill Connell (she/they) is a playwright and theatre artist based in Tkaronto/Toronto. Her plays include The Supine Cobbler (published with Coach House Books), Arctic Ocean, HROSES: An Affront to Reason, The Tall Building and The Shark Tumour Collection. She runs the independent theatre company It Could Still Happen: a collective of interdisciplinary artists who create performances based on text, space and embodied practice. In March 2026, ICSH premièred their most recent work, The Herald, in partnership with Canada’s longest-running q***r theatre, Buddies in Bad Times.

Jill is a graduate of the playwriting program at the National Theatre School of Canada and holds a Masters in English from the University of New Brunswick. Over the past few years, she has been fortunate to teach performance and creative writing at Toronto Metropolitan University, the University of Toronto, Sheridan College, and Humber College. Jill has had four productions with NotaBle Acts, including her thesis play The Shark Tumour Collection, directed by Len Falkenstein (2006). She is thrilled to return to Fredericton after so long and grateful for the warm welcome.
