News Community News Submissions called for theatre event

collidaWe’re accepting submissions for our sixth Collider event!

You can find all the information you’ll ever need about Collider if you click here, but in brief, it’s a chance to meet people you might like to collaborate with in future. Monday 5 October is Selection Night, so please send in excerpts from full plays. At previous Colliders we’ve noticed that excerpts tend to lose out to self-contained short plays, so this time we’re asking for excerpts only – let’s give them a chance to shine!

On Selection Night, we’ll read as many excerpts as we can in the time we have. At the end of the night we’ll have a vote to decide which scripts will feature at Performance Night on Monday 2 November. Normally that would be the end of the Collider process, but this time we’re trying something a bit different… On Performance Night, the audience will vote for their favourite piece and we’ll host a rehearsed reading of the full script the following month! Rehearsed Reading Night will be Monday 7 December).

We read scripts in the order that they’re received, so if you want to be sure that your script will be read, get it in quickly! Send it to jen@discover21edinburgh.com marked “Collider submission” and we’ll see you at D21 on the 5th!

Actors, directors, don’t think we’ve forgotten about you – grab your business cards and come along to Selection Night. We’ll need people to read, and you’ll be the first to know what’s been chosen so if there’s anything you want to work on, you can pounce on it.

Performance Night Monday 2 November, 7pm at Discover 21.
