Playwrights Canada Press is a drama publisher located in Toronto, Ontario. Formed in 1984 as the publishing arm of the Playwrights Guild of Canada, the Press was separately incorporated in 2001 and now operates as a stand-alone publisher.
The Press is the only publisher in Canada to focus solely on plays, producing about thirty titles each year. Award-winning authors published by the Press include Judith Thompson, Daniel MacIvor, Colleen Murphy, and John Mighton. In addition to the publication of plays, both for adults and for children, the Press also produces occasional books of theatre criticism and history.
