We know that it's been a busy Autumn so far, and writers like to take their time and polish their work, but now really is the time to save those files and let them wing their way to our eager team of readers.
Feel the fear and do it anyway! Let your carefully nurtured work come to life in a quick impromptu scratch performance. This is a great way to expose your writing to the scrutiny of an audience and measure their response. If I can do it, so can you!
Please send your submissions (10 minutes maximum run-time; no extracts from longer works) to [email protected] to arrive no later than tomorrow, Tuesday 28th October. Then you can relax and enjoy Halloween!
To make our lives easier, please include on the document: your name and contact details, the title of the play and the list of characters.
Selected writers will be notified by Tuesday November 4th and should be available on the night of the workshop November 11th to introduce their piece in person.
Join us to listen, act out the pieces, give feedback and suggest staging. If you are an actor, director, stage manager or audience member we need you.
Volunteers still welcome to join our small team to co-ordinate the call for pieces, read and review them to create a short list, and run a scratch performance of each short-listed piece at the event.
Please note: entries may also be subsequently performed by STC actors, for example at our Christmas Streatham’s Got Talent event.
