NOT SO NICE! Creative Learning are proud to present a brand new Scratch Night performance designed to showcase local emerging theatre makers in Edinburgh. The stimulus of the project is 'Return To Sender'.
Throughout our lives, we engage with the written word in numerous ways, from traditional letters to modern emails, texts, and social media posts. We send these messages in various forms to a multitude of recipients. But what about the messages that never reach their intended destination? The ones that remain hidden, or lie unopened due to apprehension about their contents? Have you ever accidentally opened a spam email and wondered if you could truly "Return To Sender" after the seal has been broken?
We are seeking Directors for this scratch night. To apply you must:
- Live in Edinburgh or be willing to travel to Edinburgh for rehearsals (this event is unfunded so travel costs will not be reimbursed)
- Have good availability during evenings and weekends in June/July 2025 for rehearsals. (We can work around any existing commitments)
- Be available all day on the 18/07/25 for the tech, dress and show at the venue.
If you fit the above criteria then we encourage you to apply! Whether you are a professional director or have never directed before, as long as you are passionate we want to hear from you.
Production timeline:
01/06/25 - Deadline for directors submissions.
05/06/25 - Successful directors confirmed.
June/July - Rehearsal period.
18/07/25 - 'Return To Sender' Performance at Augustine United Church, Edinburgh.
Due to this being an unfunded event, Not So Nice! are providing an equal profit share of ticket sales. This will include playwrights, actors, directors, producers, tech.
