PAGE2STAGE
P2S supports grassroots theatre providing an open-access route to connect and collaborate.
P2S showcases extracts from 4 brand new plays, performed as rehearsed readings in front of a live audience and an industry panel providing dramaturgical feedback on the night.
We then invite the audience, participants and panel to join is in the cafe bar to continue the conversation and make connections.
We also provide mentorship for new Directors to navigate the format and a feedback session after the event to discuss the event, your next steps or anything else you might want support with.
​
New for 2026 we will have guest mentors who will curate the selected piece and support the participants.
​
Page2Stage was founded by Michelle McKay.

HISTORY OF PAGE2STAGE
Michelle founded Page2Stage Edinburgh in 2018 with support from Assembly Roxy in response to a lack of opportunities for creatives to develop and perform work and build networks here in Edinburgh.
We first received Creative Scotland funding in 2021, which enabled us to re-launch after the pandemic, recieving further funding in 2023. This ensured that everyone was paid fairly for their participation, removing barriers to participation and building the P2S family.
We then moved to a new home at The Scottish Storytelling Centre.​
In 2023 we partnered with the Traverse Theatre to host a new Page2Stage event, More Pages, where we showcased 2 pieces that have previously been performed at Page2Stage and developed into full length work.
