SUBMIT AN APPLICATION TO THE TRAVERSE
The Traverse Theatre is a dynamic centre for performance, experience and discovery. Enabling people to access and engage with theatre is our fundamental mission, and our year-round programme bursts with new stories and live performances that challenge, inform and entertain our audiences.
Here you can submit an application to connect with us through our various programmes and initiatives. All submissions will be read by a member of the Traverse team. We look forward to hearing from you!
Help us feel joy, safety and connection!
If you are between the ages of 13-25 and have been involved in our flagship engagement programme, Class Act, the Traverse wants to hear from you. We are looking for young people to write monologues and duologues that express a sense of hope, happiness and love.
This is your time to share stories with sparks of inspiration. Glimmers of hope. You can write about anything you want, we only ask that the pieces leave audiences with a positive, lingering feeling.
Every submission will be read by the Traverse team and a selection will be filmed in partnership with Edinburgh Napier University’s Screen Academy Scotland. The pieces will then be shared with Traverse audiences throughout the month of August - in displays across our venue and digitally shared with ticket holders. The selected pieces will be performed by professional actors from stage and screen, who will take your words and transform them into filmic shorts. We can’t wait to see what you have to say.
Submissions are open until Monday 30th June. Writing should aim to be no longer than 3 minutes when read out loud. If you have any questions please contact writing@traverse.co.uk
Share moments of magic and help us bring stories of joy to Traverse audiences this summer!
