Musical Commissioning Hub
Let’s make Pitlochry the West End of Scotland!
Do you have the next great Scottish musical in you?
Our new producing partnership with Capital Theatres is looking for exciting new Scottish musicals! Through collaboration with musicians, writers and artists, we’re aiming to develop Scottish talent and help to create new works that will grace our stages – and venues across the country – for years.
Could one of them be yours? Submit an outline for your new musical, alongside details of previous work, to be considered by a panel of experts.
