WHAT DO YOU GET?
We have a range of productions and projects that are being produced this year - first and foremost the Theatia Podsie project starting in May, but we have other production and project slots as well. We want to give the opportunity to new playwrights to have their work produced, and we want to pay you for your scripts!
