A message from Playing Up
It’s been a while! We’ve been toiling behind the scenes over the last couple of years, attempting to bring our first Arts Council funded project, Playing Up 13, to our audience in some way.
However, the number 13 struck in its typical fashion… (1/5)
In the years since, at @northernstage, we have had the pleasure and privilege of producing 75 plays over 12 shows, for which we collaborated with a whopping:
*9 technicians
*34 writers
*34 directors
*124 actors
& countless rehearsal venues
All hailing from the North East. (4/5)
1 week to go!
Our script submission window closes at midnight on Monday 31st August and we're still looking for more golden nuggets from the north east writing community.
That's right - submit a winning script and £100 could be yours by October! As always, we have no theme. All we ask is that your play:
*runs 10-15 minutes
*with no more than 4 actors (can have more characters, if able to dual-role)
*and is formatted per: playwrightscentersf.org/subm…
Please send your scripts to [email protected] with the subject heading “Playing Up 13 Submission”.
We will accept only one submission per writer.
Good luck and we hope to hear from you soon!

We absolutely cannot wait to dive into the best that the North East has to offer!

Yes, we'd like names please! We pride ourselves on striking a balance between male and female voices in our final selections. (Goes without saying of course that we're not being exclusionary of trans voices - names are just not quite as helpful for identifying a trans writer)
A reminder that @playingup_tc's submission window opens soon. Question for Playing Up HQ - are submissions to be kept anonymous or do you want names on scripts?

HQ HERE - just to let you know that tickets for Richard III are available for booking from 10am tomorrow. Stay tuned for more information

The submission window is the whole of AUGUST (from 6am August 1st to midnight August 31st). Any submissions that we receive before the window opens WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED: we’re offering everyone the whole of July to work on a play, or to refine a prior piece of work.
Once the window opens, please send your scripts to [email protected] with the subject heading “Playing Up 13 Submission”.
We will consider the first 75 valid scripts.
Good luck and we hope to hear from you soon,
Playing Up
