Full Stack 2018

Writers wanted for this year’s “Full Stack” competition, which will form an evening of short plays in June.

Last year we ran a new writing competition to gather short plays around a theme for a week-long run at the Lion & Unicorn Theatre. Much fun was had by audience and actor alike, and the feedback on the show was universally positive. The event went so well that we are going to go for another round this summer!

We are looking to choose 12 pieces around the theme “Future imperfect”, that are no longer than 4 sides of A4 paper, and need no more than 3 actors. They say restriction breeds creativity…

So if you’re an experienced writer who wants to experiment with what can be achieved in a short duration, or a brand new creative that hasn’t-got-around-to-writing-but-will-do-because-it’s-a-new-year’s-resolution-honest…. This is your opportunity — we want to hear your words!

You can submit as many pieces as you like, the deadline for submissions is 31st March, and we will let you know if you were successful in early April.

Questions, and submissions, to Carl at newwriting@kdctheatre.com

Charitable status

KDC Theatre is nearly 80 years old. Times have changed, and the way in which we’re governed doesn’t fully comply with the rules for associations like ours. As a result, at this year’s Christmas Quiz – 7 December 2017 at the Hoop & Grapes, Farringdon, we shall be holding an Extraordinary General Meeting to decide on becoming a charitable organisation.

The first step to becoming a charity is to agree a new constitution. The old one-page constitution isn’t robust enough for the Charity Commission.

Have a look at the proposed new constitution. Please send us comments using the form below.
