Canada: He’s not respecting my boundaries.
Counsellor: That must be very taxing….
Canada: Oh don’t get me started on that subject!
US: See? She starts talking like that and it’s like a wall goes up. Not listening!

Oh no! Can couples counselling save Canada and the US? Can a word association game bring them back together?

Come find out at Caravan Theatre’s latest comic offering – an evening of hilarious sketch comedy poking fun at current events and human foibles. All new material, with 40% more nonsense!

Comedy Caravan: On the Road Again plays at the Al Whittle Theatre (Wolfville) April 24 & 25, with a pay-what-u-can (at the door) dress rehearsal on April 22. Tickets $25 ($20 student/under-waged). Appropriate for ages 16+.

Does the plumber get the girl in the opera The Plumber Cometh? Who’s left alive at the end of the Slasher Musical? Witness two senior women reclaiming their power as they sort through old clothes and dreams that no longer fit. Summer camp, Google, cannibals, and dating troubles – we find the wild and whacky within it all.

The road trip you didn’t ask for (but definitely need)! Join Valley actors Alan Slipp, Thea Burton, Kathy France, Ross Chapman and Antonella Ponce for an evening of side-splitting laughter. Get your tickets early – Caravan’s productions sell out quickly.

Experience Levels

The Writers’ Federation of Nova Scotia (WFNS) uses the following terms to describe writers’ experience levels:

  • New writers: those with less than two years’ creative writing experience and/or no short-form publications (e.g., short stories, personal essays, or poems in literary magazines, journals, anthologies, or chapbooks).
  • Emerging writers: those with more than two years’ creative writing experience and/or numerous short-form publications.
  • Early-career authors: those with 1 or 2 book-length publications or the equivalent in book-length and short-form publications.
  • Established authors: those with 3 or 4 book-length publications.
  • Professional authors: those with 5 or more book-length publications.

Please keep in mind that each form of creative writing (fiction, nonfiction, poetry, writing for children, writing for young adults, and others) provides you with a unique set of experiences and skills, so you might consider yourself an ‘established author’ in one form but a ‘new writer’ in another.

Occasionally, WFNS uses the phrase “emerging and established writers/authors” to mean ‘writers and authors of all experience levels.’

The “Recommended experience level” section of each workshop description refers to the above definitions. A workshop’s participants should usually have similar levels of creative writing and / or publication experience. This ensures that each participant gets value from the workshop⁠ and is presented with info, strategies, and skills that suit their experience. 

For “intensive” and “masterclass” workshops, which provide more opportunities for peer-to-peer feedback, the recommended experience level should be followed closely.

For all other workshops, the recommended experience level is just that—a recommendation—and we encourage potential participants to follow their own judgment when registering.

If uncertain about your experience level with respect to any particular workshop, please feel free to contact us at communications@writers.ns.ca
