LGBTQIA+ Writer Commission Opportunity

Mon 25th September 2023

We are pleased to announce a new writing commission opportunity in collaboration with Sanctuary Queer Arts!

After working together successfully on The Devil Drinks Cava by JD Stewart earlier this year, we’re delighted to work with Sanctuary Queer Arts to bring a new queer play to life in 2024.

This exciting commission is about finding and nurturing new queer talent in Scotland, so it is open to anyone who identifies as LGBTQIA+ and has never had a play commissioned by A Play, A Pie and A Pint.

As well as receiving fees, the successful applicant will have mentorship from an experienced artist who will provide career support and dramaturgical input to assist the writer in producing a first draft of the play.

After a development process in March 2024, the new play will be professionally produced and presented at Òran Mór in Glasgow as part of our 20th anniversary celebrations with the potential to be toured across other venues in Scotland.

Applications are open now and close on Sunday 22 October.

For full information and how to apply, please visit Sanctuary Queer Art’s website.
