Take your First Steps to the Write Track with us!
If you're a young or early career playwright based in the East Midlands, we have an amazing opportunity for you!
Mansfield Palace Theatre is running a week-long development programme for four selected writers as part of our Write Track initiative, where you'll get to work with professional actors, dramaturgs and a director to develop your play. At the end of the week, there will be a rehearsed reading of your play, and performing students from West Nottinghamshire College will also be involved in the project. This is a chance for everyone involved to learn and gain experience in developing new writing.
To apply, all you need to do is send us your current play - it doesn't even have to be a completed work!
There are two categories for playwrights:
- young playwrights aged 18-25 years
- playwrights over 18 who are at the start of their careers as playwrights.
To find out more, to submit your play, or if you have any questions please contact Christopher Neil , our Learning and Aspiration Manager: cneil@mansfield.gov.uk
The deadline for submission is Friday 28 March 2025, and the development week will take place from Monday 7 to Friday 11 April 2025.
We can't wait to see what you come up with!
