From page to stage...

We hold our Page to Stage events twice a year – with five 15-minute pieces presented in a studio theatre space in front of a paying audience.

 

Members can submit a standalone piece or an excerpt from a longer script and, if selected, your work will be rehearsed by professional actors and performed script in hand.

 

It’s a fantastic opportunity to find out how well your script is working – both from the instant audience reaction and constructive critique from our guest panel of insightful professional writers (we invite different panellists to each event).

 

Everyone who submits a script for the event receives written feedback from our Chair Jonathan Hall, regardless of whether their piece is selected for the event.

Our next P2S event

Saturday 8th March 2025 @ 7.30pm

Seven Arts, 31a Harrogate Road, Leeds, LS7 3PD

The submissions window for our next Page to Stage is now open, and the deadline for sending in your scripts is midnight on 10th December.

​

Our director for March will be Kathryn Hanke, and our feedback panel will be announced soon.

​

In the meantime, it's time to get writing and redrafting!

The actors perform the pieces

Our Chair Jonathan Hall puts out a call for scripts via SYchat. After the deadline, he gets together with our fab actor-directors to read all the submissions and select the pieces.

 

Then one of our directors casts and rehearses the selected pieces and the actors present them script in hand.

 

When you're writing your scripts, please bear in mind that we only ever have three actors. While they're amazingly versatile, they can't play a cast of thousands!
