TTC is committed to the long-term development of Tasmanian playwrights and Tasmanian stories and was proud to present the annual playreading series for three years.
The script assessment process sat outside our funding support and relied on the generosity of three industry professionals who volunteer to read each script and assess it for suitability for the program in its current form. TTC has committed significant human resources to the management of the script assessment process including collating feedback to give to writers.
Due to Arts Tasmania funding cuts TTC can no longer accept scripts for assessment. Staff numbers and hours have been greatly reduced in order for the company to survive in 2014 and therefore the human resources to manage this program will not be available.
TTC is working on finding a way to support Tasmanian playwrights in the future.
