Open Call Writer- Scratch night call out for The Scrap

If you have a text you’ve been working on that you’d like to jam with actors and a director, you can send us an excerpt: it should be around 10 – 20 pages (maybe fewer if it’s a dense monologue), and it can’t require more than four actors.

We’ll let you know if we’re able to programme your piece in the next quarterly block, and check if you’re still interested. If you are, we’ll grab a director who we feel would be a good fit for your script, and cast the roles from our pools of submissions. It’s worth noting that, due to The Scrap being an open-call initiative, casting is loose and indicative only. We make every effort to be sensitive and accurate in our casting choices, but we have no guarantee of who’ll apply. If a particular specificity in casting is demanded by your script, we’ll endeavour to work with you to find actors who are right for the parts – but it’s trickier.

If your script is being jammed, we ask that you still attend the workshopping from 1pm – 5pm on the day. The Scrap works best when it’s a creative conversation, collaborative and flexible in nature. It’s always best if you’re present to provide insight and orientation to the other artists.
