Programming Submissions

Discovering, nurturing and reimaging drama and musical theatre is at the heart of The Other Palace. So if you have a complete show / a script or a work in progress – we want to hear from you. Whether it’s ready to be seen by an audience, or in it’s early stages and needs research, development and workshopping – get in touch and see how we can help!

We meet regularly to review, discuss and listen to all submissions we receive and if we can help, we will be in touch to discuss your project with you.

For submissions we recommend you include the following information:

  • A short synopsis
  • An overview of the show to date / where it’s at
  • A copy of the script (if you have it!)
  • Two contrasting songs (if applicable) that best show off your piece
  • Details of the team working on the project (creatives & actors).
