CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
"Working with Upstart, my work was taken beyond the stage of readings and development and into full production for paying audiences – an incredibly important opportunity for a fledgling writer, and one that has been invaluable to my development as a writer." Joanna Pinto (Gardening Leave, Pebbles on the Beach)
"Seeing my plays rehearsed and produced by Upstart over the past two years has allowed me to explore my own writing, and had immense value to me as an artist...Because of Upstart, audiences and industry folk alike who might otherwise never have heard of me have seen my work and know my name." Dawn King (Water Sculptures, ZOO, Chickpea Sickday Picasso Sabotage)
Upstart Theatre (“An unfairly talented ensemble” EdinburghGuide.com) are currently seeking new plays for development in 2009. Upstart exists to develop and produce new theatre that is daring, politically aware, and above all entertaining. We plan to produce a number of public rehearsed readings in London in 2009 with a view to possible productions in 2010 and beyond.
If you share our vision and would like us to read your play, post it to Upstart Theatre, 37 Gartmoor Gardens, London SW19 6NX, or email us with any questions at info@upstart-theatre.co.uk. Please note we don't accept script submissions via email.
All submissions should include an SAE if you would like your script returned. Do please be aware that it may take some time for us to get back to you as we are a very small organisation. We are not normally able to give feedback for the same reason.
