Hi,
Thanks for your response, being a relatively new Company, information on the internet is sparse.
The Tumbleweed Collective is a new theatre company made up of Actors recently graduated from drama schools of the likes of East 15 and Guildford school of Acting and The Drama Centre. All London.
I intend to use the knowledge that i have gained and the help from my colleagues and friends and contacts i have gained through the years to put on succesful shows at fringe venues and have them transfered, get national tours, build a relationship with the industry, build a reputation. My strongest contacts probably are probably Che Walker, who's newest play begins at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in the coming month and Steve Marmion, assistant director at the Royal Shakespeare Company until recently and was employed by the Royal Court Theatre to read plays, i intend to use these people to help me as much as is possible.
I hope this helps
Any more questions please contact
thetumbleweedcollective@hotmail.co.uk
Regards
John Frederick

John,
Thank for your quick response and clarification with the pertinent information.
As I always tell people, "No information is bad information."
And: Caveat Emptor: Let the Buyer Beware.
We just try to look out for each other here.
From your description - just to narrow down submissions for you and for us - would it be fair description to say you are looking for young casts, simple to no sets and simple costumes?
Best of success with your project and new venture.

Good Morning,
I hope you had a good weekend. I would not like to limit submissions down to technical limitations that a young company obviously have, whilst it is not likely that i would stage an epic sea battle, i would still like to come across the play, to be introduced to the writer and their work. Age too is not a limitation, i would be all but happy to stage a play set in retirement home should the play be good, the actors are out there, although their number depletes as we speak.
However i appreciate your enquiry, thank you for your help introducing me to the site media res and big thanks to everyone who has submitted their work.
regards
John frederick
