‘Stage Directions’ is inviting applications from a theatre company or consortium* to apply for one commission of £10,000. The commissioned company will co-create a new piece of theatre with a fixed ensemble of young people studying at Pendleton College in Salford.

• be registered as a company, or a constituted organisation. (this is to demonstrate the governance structure of your organisation)
