New musical theatre creators have until 29 October to submit their shows for consideration for MTFestUK 2022.
Paul Taylor-Mills has confirmed the fourth MTFestUK will return to the Turbine Theatre in London from 31 January until 12 February.
Inviting writers to apply for a coveted slot at the annual musical theatre showcase, the Battersea venue’s artistic director Taylor-Mills said: “I’m tremendously proud that our festival celebrating all things musical theatre is back for its fourth outing. We will be returning to the Turbine Theatre at the iconic Battersea Power Station (with a newly opened tube on our doorstep) in 2022. If you have a musical that could benefit from a workshop presentation, we want to hear from you.
“It’s thrilling to see that the process of exercising musicals in this way to get them into production is paying off. Next year I will present three musicals that started life at MTFestUK. There are also several other musicals that were part of the MTFestUK family that will be going into production with other producers and venues.
“As we rise again from the last year there is a tremendous sense of optimism in the air for the development of new work in this country. To play a small part in that movement is an honour. I would like to formally take this opportunity to thank everybody who has been part of previous MTFestUKs. Making musicals can be complicated, expensive and thrilling. It doesn’t happen without a huge amount of goodwill, collaboration, trust, and the generosity of artists and audiences. Here’s to smashing 2022 and beyond!”.
Launched by Taylor-Mills in late 2018 as a showcase for new work by both emerging and established writers, the inaugural season of MTFestUK season was staged at The Other Palace, with the second and third seasons moving to the leading independent producer and artistic director’s new venue The Turbine Theatre.
Applications for MTFestUK 2022 should be made via email to submissions@paultaylormills.com.
