Play Reading Programme

The Masque is proud to present its ongoing Play Reading Programme, providing the chance for writers to have their new scripts brought to life, as well as the opportunity for the public to be part of the development process.

We're looking for new plays (never been staged before) to become part of the programme. The selected plays will be presented to a small audience and a panel of experts in a table reading format. The goal is for the playwrights to hear the play spoken aloud and to get feedback from audience members and experts to help the piece grow. Throughout the process, the play will remain your intellectual property and we will ensure that it is only shared with the relevant people to bring a reading to life.

To submit your play, please complete this form: https://forms.gle/FKFwQ2eCxrMH9cyb9

If you're interested in joining the team as a reader, director or panelist, please email programming@themasque.co.za

All information about upcoming readings will be announced here on the website, on our social media profiles and in our newsletter. All readings are open to the public and will be advertised so you can join in as an audience member.
