Festival of New Musical Theatre - T192374191Aria Entertainment's thriving new musical theatre festival, From Page To Stage returns for its 6th year, with submissions now open. This year's festival will take place in September at Southwark Playhouse, and follows the hugely successful 2017 festival, which took place at The Other Palace, and received over 300 submissions from across the UK and internationally. From Page To Stage 2018 will showcase each step of how an original musical is developed, from a song-writing showcase, to full staged readings of new musicals. There will also be a showcase evening, which will feature sections of at least four different shows in development with a repertory cast. Alongside the 2018 Festival at Southwark Playhouse, FPTS will launch a new venture, From Page To Stage North West in partnership with Aria Entertainment's northern home, the Hope Mill Theatre, which was founded by Joseph Houston and William Whelton. From Page To Stage North West is an exciting and unique opportunity offering one writing team a full writing commission of an original musical. The writing team selected at the end of this process will be fully commissioned and receive a workshop of the new musical in 2019, with the intention to stage the piece fully in 2020 at the Hope Mill Theatre. The team will be selected through a series of pitching days.Producer Katy Lipson (Aria Entertainment). Director Jonathan O'Boyle (The Astonishing Time of Timothy Cratchit).

He promises to grant them any wish, but the children soon discover that simple wishes aren't always so straightforward. Mayhem ensues, until the children must grant the Psammead a wish of his own... Princess Phyllida's Fortnight - Nov 17-19 Everyone thinks Phyllida lives inside a fairytale, but the pampered Bavarian princess is planning an escape. Spurning a handsome prince, Phyllida absconds with her tutor, Fritzing. They settle in Somerset, where Phyllida wreaks havoc by behaving rather too much like a princess! Then a certain jilted prince turns up. A ripping yarn of derring-do, heady romance and Latin grammar. | |
