The Ashton Group is searching for a new stage play with which to tour the North West, professionally produced by its acclaimed Apprenticed Actors Company.
The one act play should have a running time of 60 minutes and be written for four young actors: two male, two female. If practicable, these four can play any number of different characters.
The writer should be no older than 25 and the play can be upon any theme or subject.
For the last eight years, The Ashton Group, based in Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, has been touring a ground-breaking project.
Each year, AAC takes small groups of young people aged 16-21 into the company as apprentices. They audition for roles and then work as paid actors on a new play which is toured to venues across the north west. With the guidance of experienced industry professionals, they function as a fully professional touring theatre company.
Since 2009, the company has extended this process to include young writers, and has so far toured four new plays written by young people aged 18-25.
