For over a decade, our annual series of Cybec Electric play readings has brought the most exciting, fresh and urgent new writing to audiences. With scripts in hand, actors present works-in-progress with the assistance of directors and dramaturgs, providing a crucial step in the creation of new work – bringing them to life in front of an audience.
Theatre isn’t made in isolation, and this program is an opportunity for writers to come together with peers and a professional team to nurture and test new ideas.
The next Cybec Electric will take place in October 2024.
Applications are now closed for 2024.
We will be in touch with all applicants by Mid-September to advise the outcome of your application.
If you have any queries regarding the program, please contact Mark Wilson newwork@mtc.com.au.
