    Producer/director roles and show applications

    The 2018 Arts Show - Marlowe

    7:45pm, Wed 24th January 2018 - Sat 27th January 2018, at Cambridge Arts Theatre
    Lent Week 1

    Applications for Producer and Assistant Director

    Applications are now open to produce and assistant direct the 2018 Arts Show.

    The producer is the central point of contact for the show, handling all interface between the society, our professional director and designers, and the staff of the Arts theatre. We are looking for someone supremely organised, capable, self-motivated, tactful, unflappable, and creative. The producer's work will start at the beginning of Michaelmas term and continue until get out. They are responsible for assembling the student production team, coordinating logistics, monitoring the budget, and creating a publicity campaign.

    The AD will work with our professional director from start to finish, auditions to closing night. They are involved in every aspect of the production as they shadow the director and take on their own responsibilities. Our professional director takes on a mentoring role that often lasts beyond graduation and into the professional world. ADing is both extremely demanding and remarkably rewarding. It requires organizational skills, self-motivation, and reliability, as well as directing ability.

    The show will be announced officially in September, but we can confirm that it will be a Shakespeare play.

    Auditions for this year's Arts Show will be held on Saturday, October 14, and Sunday, October 15. ADs must be available both days. Rehearsals will start in December, pause over the Christmas vacation, and continue fairly intensely until the show, with actors and AD remaining after the end of Michaelmas and returning before the start of Lent. The week of the show will require that the AD be present at the theatre all day for the majority of the week.

    Anyone interested in applying for producer or AD should email themarlowesociety@gmail.com with the following information by September 21:

    -Your year
    -Prior producing or directing experience
    -What do you hope to get out of the Arts Show, and what makes you a good candidate?
    -Theatrical CV, if available

    Finalists will be notified via email, and Skype interviews will take place in late September. Any questions? Email Molly at themarlowesociety@gmail.com

    Deadline: Thursday 21st September 11:00pm

    1) The Marlowe Society Presents: HATCH - Marlowe

    8:00pm, Mon 9th October 2017 at ADC Theatre (Bar)
    Michaelmas Week 1

    Write or Direct for The Marlowe Society's HATCH

    "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again.
    Fail better. " - Samuel Beckett

    This HATCH launches a brand new year-long program for writers that the Marlowe is running in 2017-18, offering a hub for the writing community with a biweekly writers' group.

    The Marlowe Society’s Hatch is an event for the theatre community providing space for short excerpts of student new writing of any genre to be staged at the ADC Theatre.

    This evening will be particularly useful to those looking to test audience reaction to a piece in development. It will be both for existing ADC regulars to reconvene at the beginning of the year and for freshers or newly inspired theatre-makers to meet the community. Our first writer's programme session will be Wednesday the 11th following the HATCH.

    At a HATCH, we want you to feel like you can fail, succeed, slip up, try again, get it wrong, get it right... but most importantly, write.

    Details for writers, directors and actors who would like to be involved in the night is below.


    This night is in the ADC Theatre Bar on Monday 9th October at 8pm.
    For tickets: https://www.adctheatre.com/whats-on/literary/hatch/

    Doors open at 7. After the event there will be a chance to meet the new committee over drinks with others interested in theatre & writing.

    1a) The Marlowe Writers' Group - Marlowe

    7:00pm, Wed 11th October 2017 at Tbc
    Michaelmas Week 1

    The Marlowe Writers' Group

    Following its conception last year, The Marlowe Writer's Group is opening its doors to writers and writer/performers.

    The Marlowe Writer's Group was created to draw together students from across the university with a shared interest in writing to develop work together in a relaxed environment. Scriptwriting, poetry, prose and all forms of creative writing in all genres are welcome at the group.

    What we primarily offer is space: time to think, space with peers, time to consider ourselves as authors both individually and as part of a community, space to listen and support one another as we explore our imaginations.

    A theme such as: "exhilarate", "affliction" or "waffles" is set for each week. Though participants are invited to either use this as inspiration or just bring something they've been working on, and would like to develop, to share with the group. We each read aloud our work - often asking for an opinion on a specific piece of writing- and the group discusses it. In our successful Easter term group trials we workshopped everything from contemporary playwriting to Dickens inspired prose , sketches responding to the works of Alan Partridge, and short poems with Kate Tempest-esque riffs.

    Sessions are drop in and as of Michaelmas '17 will be at 7pm on a Sunday evening. However, our first session in Michaelmas will be held 7pm on Wednesday 11th October. Location tbc.

    Please keep an eye on Cambridge Theatre (https://www.facebook.com/groups/537078162977094/) and Cambridge Theatre: Writers (https://www.facebook.com/groups/316545295427381/) on Facebook in case details change.

    Participants who would like to develop work for either our HATCH nights, a funding pitch to the Marlowe for an ADC play , or an OTHER PRIZE entry are also encouraged to regularly attend the group and use it as a development space.

    Group Director: Mollie Semple
    Marlowe Writers' Rep & Associate Director: Olivia Gillman

    Email ms2389 & og262 if you would like to register interest with us in advance and/or ask questions.

    Deadline: Wednesday 11th October 6:00pm
