Overview
Page to Stage: Call Out For Writers
Writers aged 18-25 based in/around Aberdeen are invited to submit short five-minute theatre scripts to be performed at our Page to Stage event in June as part of Light The Blue 2023. Selected scripts will be rehearsed in front of a live audience with actors and a director, followed by a script-in-hand reading and Q&A.
Deadline for submissions: 11pm, Monday 29th May
Page to Stage is a fantastic platform for writers based in/around Aberdeen to see their work performed, receive feedback and connect with fellow theatre makers. The event is a perfect opportunity to test out ideas and inform the next stage of development for new plays.
Scripts should be written with suitability for performance as a rehearsed reading in mind, with limited or no tech requirements. Scripts should be able to be performed by a maximum of 3 actors. There is no set theme for submissions.
As this event is taking place as part of Light The Blue 2023, the opportunity is open to writers aged 18-25.
Selected writers must be able to attend the performance event on Monday 12th June at the Lemon Tree, Aberdeen.

- A title page
