Arch 468: Prospects

ARCH 468: PROSPECTS 2010 is now open!

From August to December Arch 468 aims to give public rehearsed readings to every new play submitted.

We’re looking for writers with a play they’re burning to have seen and emerging directors to direct each play we show.

Arch 468: Prospects brings work into direct contact with an audience. We're not passing any judgement, good or bad, on your play – we want to let the audience do that. The Prospects season is about you hearing your play out loud, and seeing how an audience react to it.

Arch 468: Prospects aims to:

1.– stage as many rehearsed readings of new plays as possible.

2.– engage audiences in the development of new plays.

3.– integrate awareness of actors and audience in the writer’s process.

4.– give writers at all stages of development the opportunity to hear their play read.

5.- promote Arch 468 as a supportive home for emerging writers.

Arch 468 will stage a rehearsed reading of as many new plays as we can, facilitated by an emerging director. The company meets at 10am on the day of the reading and then have a day to get to grips with the play, and be ready to perform it that evening to an eagerly awaiting public.
