We are looking for new work or work in progress across theatre, stand-up comedy, spoken word, poetry, readings and sketches/skits.

Micro commissions are about new or work in progress ideas.

There are 2 micro-commissions for £250 available.

This commission is open to artists working in and across Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent.

Work will be presented at B arts Scratch Night on Friday 22nd November 2024. This does not mean we are looking for finished pieces, work in progress and scratch performances is fine.
