Explore our current opportunities to support bringing your work to the stage:
Musical Theatre Workroom
The Musical Theatre Workroom was delivered by China Plate, Birmingham Hippodrome, Musical Theatre Network, Mercury Musical Developments and Royal & Derngate, Northampton.
The project brought together experienced musical theatre practitioners and artists from global majority backgrounds to collaboratively interrogate traditions, models and approaches to making musical theatre.
Musical Theatre Writers Group
MT Writers Group was a key programme focusing on the craft of writing musical theatre. Six writing teams worked with the New Musical Theatre Department to develop a musical over 12 months.
15 artists from across the UK attended monthly sessions at the Hippodrome led by writer and dramaturg Victoria Saxton and composer and musical director Tim Sutton, along with guest masterclasses.
MT Writers Group concluded with a showcase, featuring national and local performing talent, and presented to an audience of industry and public.
