Rehearsed Reading for 2019/20 – Theme As YOU Like it

We are inviting submissions for the 2019/20 series of rehearsed readings. This year’s theme is As YOU Like It – your heart draws you to an idea but your cautious mind warns it may never work. No matter how weird or quirky, new or old – this is an opportunity to follow your heart and allow us all to see, hear and engage with your piece.

Please forward a brief proposal, and script (if available) to briangermurray@gmail.com. (If only a hard copy of your script is available, you can leave it at the bar in the Teachers’ Club, and let Brian know by email). Closing date for submissions is 31st March 2019.

Proposals will be reviewed by the Artistic Committee, with up to 6 submissions being selected, based on adjudged practicality, suitability and merit.

It is planned to present the 6 selected readings on the last Saturday of May, June, August, September, October / November (2019) and January / February (2020). We will strive to schedule flexibly to accommodate participants’ availability.
