PANSA Festival of Reading of New Writing
The PANSA Festival of Reading of New Writing is an initiative of PANSA.
Founded in 2008, the Festival aims to generate original South African theatre works, to provide a platform for these works to reach the attention of theatre producers, and to work towards full-scale productions of the winning plays.
The festival works on a regional bases, after which the winning scripts in each region are re-read in the national final and are up for a Grand Prize.
The scripts are entered in one of the following categories: Comedy, Drama, 1 / 2 Hander.
A panel of judges selects the five best scripts for participation in each regional Festival. Each of the selected scripts are given a basic subsidy to fund reading rehearsals and S&T as required.
The Festival is open to writers throughout South Africa and is supported by the National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund (NLDTF).
