1 Week to Maven Deadline

1 WEEK UNTIL OUR MAVEN APPLICATIONS CLOSE!

➡️ We are open to applicants: Deadline for submission:  5pm, Monday November 25th 2024.

A playwright professional development programme providing career support for female identifying writers aged 35+. In a small peer group writers will be paid to explore, through reading and discussion, representation of older female characters on stage with dramaturg Pamela McQueen.

Established Irish female playwrights, Michelle Read, Gina Moxley, Noelle Brown and Deirdre Kinahan will facilitate a group class and one individual mentorship meeting for each participant.

The program includes a paid writing week to create some text and some explorative discussion with the dramaturg to outline a new play. These ideas will be shared in a final session with your fellow playwright participants.

➡️ OPEN CALL/RECRUITMENT – Female playwrights are invited to submit a CV, a five page writing sample and a note describing why you are interested in the Programme. Please send to kate@milltheatre.ie with the subject line:  The Maven’s Programme.  Deadline for submission:  5pm, Monday November 25th 2024. Candidates will be shortlisted and invited for interview. Four candidates will be selected to participate.
