Toronto-based Expect Theatre launches PlayME, an exciting new initiative that is set to change the playing ground for Canadian theatre at home and internationally. PlayME will be a national digital theatre that presents an annual season of new theatre scripts in podcast format, raising the profile of Canadian plays and playwrights as well as offering audiences high-quality drama for free.
Expect will take some of the most interesting current and innovative un-produced or under-produced scripts in the country, audio record them, add post-production elements (music and sound effects) and release them as podcasts - basically presenting a season of modern radio drama, lining up with the growing trend of "on-demand" entertainment.
