Q: How Do I Apply To The Stage One Bursary?
A: Typically the bursary has been awarded for; company set-up, producer’s subsistence, travel and expenses for the duration of the project/s and professional fees (e.g lawyers, accountants). You can apply for anything up to £15,000 and applications are currently open. You can apply via our website online by clicking HERE.
Firstly in your application; we need to know what shows you are currently producing or developing. If you have confirmed venue, licensing, creatives, cast and dates make a note of them in this section. A brief explanation of why you chose the play might also be helpful, as long as you don’t go over the 400 word limit! The experience stated on your CV should be elaborated on within the “enhance your career” question to highlight how the Bursary would benefit your development as a Commercial Theatre Producer. This is also the best way for us to identify where the Bursary award would be spent, so make sure you clarify how the award would be divided up. Lastly, make sure the budget(s) you submit is formatted as a PDF.
If you ever have any questions we are always here to take your call on 020 7557 6737 (well when I say always I mean weekdays 10am-6pm)!
