Malvern Theatres’ Three Counties Talent Hub (3CTH) identifies, fosters, and gives a professional platform to creatives working in the three counties.
In its first iteration, Malvern Theatres is teaming with the Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham to launch an inaugural stage writing competition, with the chosen play being workshopped in Malvern, before being performed in both Malvern and Cheltenham in spring 2025.
3CTH will welcome submissions for a new play from writers based in the three counties (Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, and Herefordshire) and the work should ‘have a sense of place resonating with Malvern and/or Cheltenham’.
The piece, suitable for a maximum of three performers, should have drama as its primary form, but could include music and/or physical theatre or other movement.
As well as seeing their piece performed on the professional stage, the writer or writing team would also receive royalties from the ticketed performances.
Submission of content is free and 3CTH welcomes scripts from writers of all ages, all levels of experience, regardless of background, disability, ethnicity, gender identity, race, religion, or sexual orientation.
In time, Malvern Theatres hopes to expand 3CTH to include other elements of theatre, as well as different artistic genres such as classical music.

The submission date for play treatments is 31st December.
