YEP Writers

Work alongside professional playwrights & theatre practitioners to learn the craft of playwriting

YEP Writers

Across six strands, our award-winning Young Everyman Playhouse programme provides opportunities for young people no matter their circumstances or experience. So, if you’re aged 18-25 and passionate about writing and theatre YEP Writers  could be for you! You don’t need to have any previous experience of writing for stage, only something to say that you feel needs to be heard!

As a YEP Writer you will have the opportunity to:

  • Learn the fundamentals of playwriting such as theatricality, character, structure and narrative

  • Work alongside professional playwrights and theatre practitioners

  • Read and discuss plays as a group

  • Write monologues, short plays and try out ideas

  • Develop a new, one act play with one-to-one support from our Literary Department

  • Take part in regular events and drop-in sessions, develop an ongoing relationship with our New Works team and catch a range of theatre with YEP’s fantastic £5 ticket deal.

Sessions run weekly in the Writers’ Room at the Everyman. Recruitment for the 24/25 programme will open in Jan 2024

Applicants will be asked to submit a sample of writing (not necessarily for Stage) before an informal interview.
