The Canadian Community Play Exchange was formed in 2003 in Vancouver, over a sushi dinner, by a group of community-play-producing colleagues following the production of Vancouver Moving Theatre’s “In the Heart of A City”, out of a desire to foster ongoing connections, collaborations, dialogue and opportunities to see each other’s work.
