NSW Playwrights’ Initiative
Kicking Down the Doors Reading, 20 September 2010
PlayWriting Australia is currently calling for submissions from NSW-based playwrights for a full day of play readings designed to connect unproduced writers to audiences and the theatre industry.
We want to remove the barriers to having new work read, heard and seen, giving all-comers the chance to have their work played by some of our best actors in front of an audience that includes industry heavyweights. This initiative is open to all NSW-based playwrights who have not yet been professionally produced.
Eligible playwrights are invited to submit an excerpt of a full-length play to be included in the live, public reading presented by a professional cast on Monday 20 September at CarriageWorks in Sydney. We’re looking for enticing, intriguing scenes that will leave everyone in the room wanting more!
Two of the best, most promising writers at the event will receive a six-month mentorship with PlayWriting Australia’s Artistic Director, Chris Mead, and will have their work showcased at the National Play Festival in 2011.
PlayWriting Australia and Arts NSW are attempting to knock down some of the barriers to getting new Australian plays onto the state’s stages. This is just the first of a series of initiatives in NSW designed to respond to the needs of emerging, developing and established playwrights.
Keen to kick down some doors? It’s easy to get involved, just:
- Send us an extract of your full-length play, 10minutes or 10pages
- Fill out a submission coversheet, providing your answers to the three questions
- Get it to PlayWriting Australia before 5pm on Friday, 27 August 2010
Kicking Down the Doors
Applications open now
Closing Date: 27 August 2010
Please note that this initiative is only open to NSW-based playwrights
