We are proud to have highlighted and showcased 18 new scripts for the stage and screen last year, through our Online Reads project. Supporting new talent in their journey of taking their art from page to stage.
We have really enjoyed building a community of performing artists, writers and theater makers who collaboratively have worked together to push theatre forward.
This year, funding from Arts Council England has helped us to continue our mission of supporting emerging artists from the UK and around the world, bringing thought provoking theatre to the forefront.
As well as allowing us to make this writing development opportunity more accessible and completely free! Helping to support artists regardless of location, caring obligations or financial limitations.
