Call for Members and Script Submissions
The PumpHouse is calling for writers, directors and actors to become members of Dark Mondays.
Dark Mondays is The PumpHouse’s new script development initiative. Monday is traditionally a theatre’s night off, meaning no performances take place, hence the theatre remains dark. On a regular basis The PumpHouse will host a Monday play-reading with a director and actors chosen by the playwright and the Dark Mondays’ team. Members of the public are welcome to join industry practitioners and PumpHouse guests attending the reading which will end with a discussion forum giving all a chance to get involved in the origination of new plays. The initiative is supported by Playmarket, New Zealand’s playwright agency and it is expected that some of the developed scripts will eventually be performed at The PumpHouse as fully fledged theatre productions.
Member writers are invited to submit new plays for reading. Member Directors and Actors will form the talent pool performing the readings. Membership is open to new and emerging theatre practitioners as well as established artists.
Periodically, Dark Mondays will also host industry workshops and talks by guest speakers for writers, directors and actors.
