Now in its 5th year AMITC has assisted many Australian theatre artists to bring their work to fruition. A Month in the Country is a service to the national theatre industry, allowing groups of artists to experience the intensity of a regional working experience.
Applications for residencies are accepted twice each year. This program is delivered with the support of Albury City, Arts NSW, Arts Victoria, the Australia Council, and The Myer Foundation. Details from HotHouse Theatre's website www.hothousetheatre.com.au
