Next Up… Call for submissions

Gala Theatre is seeking submissions for the second in a new series of scratch nights. Next Up… is Gala’s stage for new work with the next event taking place on Wednesday 2nd November. The event provides an opportunity for playwrights, artists or companies to trial and share works-in-progress in front of a friendly and constructive audience. It’s a chance for you to road-test new work and gather feedback; it’s also the best way for the team at Gala to get to know you and your work.
