503Studio How To…Get My Work On

By far the most asked question by all our aspiring writers, and the entire early career freelance community is how to get your work on to a stage. Theatre503’s Producer, Gabrielle Leadbeater, and Executive Director, Andrew Shepherd, will lead a practical session exploring the various ways you can realise your production. They will explore the self-producing route, how to engage with other producers and companies, as well how 503 programme its venue.

Theatre503’s How To… are Pay What You Can, thanks to Arts Council England’s Emergency Grant and our Share The Drama scheme.

If you would like to discuss any access requirements and how we can accommodate them, prior to booking, please get in touch with us.
