A massive welcome to The Other Room - it's great that it's all finally official guys!  The fringe scene in Wales in general and Cardiff in particular is at a very exciting moment, and the addition of a space - and talent - like this to the mix could be a defining addition. Well done on all your great efforts to make this happen.

Who are we writing for in Wales? Plus writers workshops

After a break Scriptwriting Workshops will resume again this Sept, interested? Contact me on rodstephens@btinternet.com.  Past course students gain skills on how to get their work out there, finding their story and finding their unique voice. We have an excellent success rate with writers getting work produced.

Also doing some research, 

I am interested to know from other practitioners some thoughts on?

The wider picture:

A London theatre recently said they will only produce classic welsh plays - where does that leave new writing? Thoughts...

Content:

What type of shows does NTW produce? Historical/Contemporary? Pertinent to Wales? Site Specific? Are there magic ingredients writers should be thinking about when writing new plays for Wales?

Audience:

Who is our audience? How can we entice audiences back to theatre with new writing? What should we be writing? What we should we be avoiding?

Really looking forward to The Other Room, Pub Theatre

Hello. We are The Other Room, Cardiff’s first pub theatre.

We wouldn’t want to be making work anywhere else in the world right now. The Other Room is a direct response to the overwhelming talent to be found in Cardiff and throughout Wales. Teeming with actors, writers, designers and directors of world-class quality, this city is the perfect place to establish a small producing house that makes bold, cutting edge theatre.

At just 45 seats, The Other Room will produce new work by Welsh or Wales-based artists and great modern plays from 1950 onwards. It is our ambition to be a new, exciting and innovative voice within the cultural landscape of Cardiff.

The Other Room will run a year-round programme producing, curating and commissioning invited companies to make work with us. We will also be launching an emerging artists development programme, ‘The Kitchen’.

 

We will be announcing our venue on the 27th June and hosting a special event there to thank our supporters and invite them into Cardiff’s newest theatre for the very first time.

 

After much searching we have found the perfect venue  – a popular and vibrant bar in Cardiff city centre with a room absolutely ideal for a theatre, and we are currently in the design and planning stage to convert the space into a fully working fringe theatre. 

We are currently running a Kickstarter campaign in order to raise the seed money that we need to build this theatre. On the first day of our campaign we raised over £1000 and just three days later we hit our target of £2500, allowing us to start the process leading to the conversion. Two weeks later we have doubled that amount, and we want to keep going! We have a tremendous amount of money to raise over the next year and the faith and generosity of our community has given us a great start. In addition to the conversion itself, here are some of the things we are fundraising for:

 

• Secure the rights to the exciting plays we have lined up for next season.

• Commission writers to develop new plays.

• Secure the creative team for our first season.

• Match fund other companies we want to support to make work in the space.

• Commit to minimum ITC and Equity contract rates for all artists.

This money will make it possible for us to support the artists of Wales and pay them what they deserve for the work that they create. That's the sort of theatrical ecology we want to contribute to, and every penny that we are given brings us closer to doing that.

Take a look at our Kickstarter campaign, including our video, here and if you’re inspired by who we are and what we’re about, support us and spread the word.

We’re here, and we’re happening. Please help us to be the best we can be.

 

For further enquiries and to learn more about the project, please contact our Marketing Officer Ben Atterbury by emailing ben@otherroomtheatre.com or calling 07817 714250.

If you have Sky, they're showing four eps of Community from seven in the morning, somewhere deep in the programme guide.  Or presumably it's all out there for free if you're so inclined.

CALLING COMPOSERS -- 
I have written a play with music (not a musical) and am seeking to collaborate with a composer. 

No, not a musical -- but there is a band within the play. I have written the lyrics and I now need a composer.

If you want more info, please either comment here or sent me a message.

I am planning to submit the play for a production call out (NYC based) -- very soon -- so please get in touch! 

Cheers.
