ALT We are looking for 5 writers that identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community for an upcoming project.
We cannot reveal too much about the project yet but it will take place in June (Pride Month).
We are seeking LGBTQIA+ writers to write extended speeches/monologues/letters about their experiences about and within the community as well as their identity in general. They can be as personal and political as you want them to be.
The timing can be anywhere between 10 to 15 minutes long. and we suggest you aim for 5 or more pages.
The commission fee for this is £100.
We are particularly interested in connecting with those who are currently underrepresented in both the LGBTQIA+ community and in the theatrical industry as well.
For more information, please email peripeteiatheatre@outlook.com or alternatively email to book a Zoom session to discuss the project in virtual person.
