Write for us

We welcome clear, original contributions about the craft of amateur theatre-making, from script selection and rehearsal choices to direction, design and production preparation.

What fits

Strong contributions focus on a real creative question and explain the reasoning behind a choice. We are interested in useful comparisons, thoughtful accounts of process, well-framed histories and advice that readers can adapt to different productions. Keep the focus on theatre-making rather than promotion of a particular show or group.

A useful pitch

Send a short proposal explaining the subject, the central idea, who it may help and why it suits Active Theatre Review. Include a possible title and a brief outline. Tell us whether the piece has appeared elsewhere or is being offered to another publication.

How to send it
