Stage Plays

05 — Live and in the room

Theatre puts the story in the same room as the audience. We develop new plays and stage them — live, unrepeatable, in front of real people.

Why stage

The cheapest place to find out if a story is true.

Nothing sharpens writing like an audience in the room — no cutaways, no post, no hiding. We use the stage to develop new work and new writers.

  • New plays from writers in the communities we work with.
  • Staged readings that put an audience on a script early.
  • Productions designed to travel between cities and venues.

How a play gets made

From page to stage

01

Development

Readings and workshops where the script meets actors for the first time.

02

Casting & rehearsal

Open calls, auditions and the rehearsal room that makes the writing live.

03

Performance

Staged runs in theatres, community venues and partner spaces.
