The 2025 Wandsworth Fringe is just around the corner, and New Stagers are excited to once again take part with "Scene Unseen" – a showcase of original short plays written, directed, and performed by our talented members.
This is your chance to flex your creative muscles and bring your unique theatrical vision to life. With no theme restrictions, you can explore any story that captures your imagination.
We are now accepting submissions for plays, but please note the following requirements:
Maximum 15-minute running time
Limited to 5 actors
Original and unpublished script
Lighting, set, and costume are limited
Selection Process: 5 plays will be selected by an independent judging panel.
So, if you want to see your ideas come to life in a supportive, fun environment, now's your chance!
In addition to playwrights, we're also looking for directors, actors and technicians to make it all happen. You can find out more information and register your interest here:
By submitting original short plays, playwrights can take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to display their talent. Similar to how a website's help in thesis writing & editing aids authors in honing their concepts, ventures of this nature foster inventiveness and offer a stage for emerging theatrical talents. It’s always thrilling to see areas that foster new narratives!
This is a great opportunity for playwrights to showcase their talent by submitting short, original plays. Just like an essay writing website helps writers refine their ideas, initiatives like this encourage creativity and provide a platform for new voices in theatre. It's always exciting to see spaces that support fresh storytelling!
