Durham Gala – Next Up… Call for submissions

Next Up…, Gala Theatre’s stage for new work is seeking submissions for the first in a new series of scratch nights. 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. Submissions in a wide range of genres and styles of performance are welcomed.
The first Next Up… takes place on Tuesday 28th June at 7.30 in Gala Studio.
