Ameer Idreis (Arabic: أمير إدريس; born 22 December 1999) is a Palestinian Canadian writer, playwright, and urbanist.
Idreis's debut play Ships in the Night won the 2023 Hart House Theatre Playwriting Competition,[1][2] 2024 Playwrights Guild of Canada Robert Beardsley Award,[3] and is in development at Theatre Passe Muraille. Idreis previously participated in the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity Playwrights Retreat[4] and Paprika Festival,[5] where he developed his second play The Walls Enclosing.[6][7]
Idreis's contributions as an urbanist include his research on the Ontario Greenbelt, which informed both his Master’s thesis and a play, Lines in the Land.[8] His academic work includes research on urbanism, politics, and planning at the University of Toronto and the School of Cities,[8] as well as academic articles on the role and impact of the Canadian Constitution on Indigenous and minority rights.[9][10]
As a young novelist, Idreis published two books in his debut series The Ewald Series,[11][12] with awards and recognition from the Canada-Arab Business Council, the Council of the Arab League, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation,[13] and the Women's Press.[14]
