Call Out for Writer and Composer – The Ugly Duckling

Every Christmas, Nottingham Playhouse produces a family show aimed at children aged 3-8 in the Neville Studio. The production then tours to primary schools, libraries and other community settings in the region.

We are very proud that this production provides a vital experience for younger children, many visiting a theatre for the first time. It is a core part of our Christmas programme and has been building a reputation year on year.

For the 2024/25 production we are producing The Ugly Duckling and we’re looking for a professional Writer and Composer to commission.

You may be:

• A playwright
• A composer
• Part of a writer and composer duo
• A writer and a composer

We welcome applications from all of the above. You can apply individually or as part of a duo. Please make this clear in your application.

The Director will also be recruited via an open callout.
