Arthur Milner is a Canadian playwright and theatre director who spends his time between Val-des-Monts, Québec, and Regina, Saskatchewan. His most recent play Tommy and Père (set during Saskatchewan’s bitter doctors’ strike) was produced in March 2025 by Regina’s Curtain Razors. Getting to Room Temperature, a hard-hitting, sentimental and funny one-person play about death, was produced in February 2025, in French (Souffler la veilleuse), by Saskatoon’s La Troupe du jour. Facts, a murder mystery set in the Palestinian West Bank, premiered at Ottawa’s Great Canadian Theatre Company, toured Israel and Palestine (in Arabic), and was produced in London, U.K., and Istanbul (in Turkish).
He is a former Resident Playwright and Artistic Director of the Great Canadian Theatre Company and has worked as dramaturg for the Manitoba Association of Playwrights, the Banff Playwrights Colony, and Playwrights Workshop Montreal.
