SCRIPT OPENINGS ARE NOW OPEN!

YES! We would love to work on developing some new musicals. You would need to submit lyrics to songs, if you have any at this stage, along with the script.

Your script will be processed by a member of our team and will then be sent a member of our team to read. We will send an email acknowledging the receipt of your script. 

As we are only a small team we are unable to respond with feedback immediately and this is due to us providing the attention that each script deserves. Once the play has been read we aim to provide a set of notes as to where your work intrigued us, and we call this our first round.

Round 1 - Basic feedback on where your work intrigued us. At this point, we may say that we think your play needs some more development and we may send you back to act on feedback, but we will wish to remain in contact and we would want to read your next draft. 

Round 2 - A 1:1 Zoom meeting with one of our Literary team to discuss your work in more detail. This gives us a sense of your vision for this play and where you want to take it. You will then be invited to a writers' development lab where you will spend the day with a group of actors and a director where we will workshop parts of your script practically. You will then be told whether or not we want to take your submission further at this point in time and the reasons why.

Round 3 - If we really see a space for your work, it will be sent directly to our Artistic Director/CEO who will read it and will consider where it can go. It may be the case that your are offered a position as a writer-in-residence to continue developing this play before it is programmed as part of a Flip The Script Season. Throughout this time you will be fully supported at all stages. 

At this moment in time, unfortunately the answer is no. We will be looking to expand the programme in the near future, opening it up to the whole North West region.
