Hi, this is to invite you all to apply to STAND UP FOR YOUR WRITES
Nitro Theatre, Upfront Comedy and Birmingham Repertory Theatre are giving experienced stand-up comedians a unique opportunity to become the next comedy writers for theatre and comedy musicals.
If you are a comedian living in the UK then you can apply to take part in an exciting development project led by Felix Cross MBE (Artistic Director, Nitro), and Tessa Walker (Associate Director, The REP). Six will be chosen to progress through three stages that will lead to staged readings of your play. We want to discover new theatre voices in comedy for the stage!
The project will include exploring story structure and character development, with mentoring, support and feedback along the way to writing a full script. It is the first project of its kind in the UK and represents a tremendous opportunity for exciting new voices that are itching to be discovered.
Project Fee: A project of this calibre would normally require a fee to participate but Stand Up for your Writes is fully subsidised through funding from Arts Council England.
The deadline to apply is Friday 7th February 2013.
