SCRIPT TO SOUNDWAVES

An immersive workshop in writing and producing audio drama

In Partnership with Tarrragon Theatre (Coming Fall 2025)

Enter the world of audio fiction with this hands-on eight-part course led by Chris Tolley and Laura Mullin, the award-winning creators of CBC’s PlayME. With two New York Festival Radio Awards and a Webby Honouree to their name, they’ve helped bring Canadian theatre to a global audience—and now they’ll show you how to do the same.

Whether you’re writing a brand-new audio drama or adapting a stage play for the mic, this workshop will guide you through every step of the creative and technical process.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to write or adapt scripts specifically for audio

  • The art of world-building through dialogue, sound, and silence

  • How to record, edit, and sound design your work using practical, accessible tools

  • How to craft immersive soundscapes using Foley, effects, and layered sound

  • Strategies for building a global audience and getting your work out into the world

  • Industry insights from guest speakers working at the forefront of podcasting and audio storytelling

Whether you're a playwright, screenwriter, or creative looking to expand your voice, this is your chance to explore the full potential of sound.
