DOUGLAS TINDAL
AUTHOR
Algonquin Highlands resident Douglas Tindal is one of three winners of the first SPARC playwriting contest (Supporting Performing Arts in Rural and Remote Communities). The three plays, which were required to be no more than ten minutes and explore a rural theme, will be read at the 2024 SPARC Symposium, Reigniting the Spark, on Saturday, May 25 in Minto Township (Palmerston). Doug's winning entry, Morning Ride, features a mother and daughter in a pickup truck, on route to an early morning hockey practice. He is the author of Tales from Wine on the Porch, a collection of interlinked short stories. His earlier ten-minute play, A Wolf at the Oasis, was selected for the 2019 InspiraTO Festival. Doug Tindal is a cofounder of Oakview Coliving on Little Hawk Lake.
