The RBC Tarragon Emerging Playwright Prize is one of the most prestigious playwriting awards in Canada, recognizing one exceptional emerging playwright with a cash prize, a year’s worth of dramaturgical support from Tarragon Theatre’s Artistic Staff, and a public reading during Tarragon’s annual Play Reading Week. The prize provides an emerging artist with the tools to overcome several of the barriers faced at the beginning of a playwriting career.
The 2023 RBC Tarragon Emerging Playwright Prize has been awarded to Breton Lalama.
