Backstage is all set to kick-start its short play season 2013-2014 with the first call-out for potential writers & directors.

There will be 2 evenings of short plays for this season. Each evening will have multiple plays ranging from 10 mins to 1 hour in length. While there will be well-known scripts that will be put up during these evenings, we are also looking for original scripts that could be put up as well. As usual, Backstage will keep its aim of trying to encourage new talent during our short play season. Therefore, no prior experience is required to either write or director the short plays.

In case you are a writer:
Please forward your original scripts, name and contact details to info@backstagedubai.com by June 30th at the very latest. They will then go ahead and review all submitted scripts to select a few which could be put up at one of our evenings for this season; or potentially be put on hold until future short play evenings as well. Please remember that all play submissions must range from 10 mins to 1 hour in length.

In case you are a director:
Please forward your name and contact details to info@backstagedubai.com by June 25th at the very latest. In case you already have any play in mind that would like to direct, please include the name of the play in that email as well. Please remember that all play submissions must range from 10 mins to 1 hour in length.

They will be communicating further details regarding dates, next steps, etc. to the interested directors and writers once we receive all submissions. If you have any questions relating to the short play season, please email info@backstagedubai.com.
