About
The Theatre Wiki is a nation-wide project dedicated to creating the first community-maintained Canadian online encyclopedia. In order to celebrate the launch of the Wiki, we will be holding simultaneous hackathons across the country. Groups will be gathering in artistic centres with strong internet connections to act as the digital pioneers for our online database. They will research and create the first articles about the theatre companies, artists, and productions that have currently and continue to be produced in our country.
