National Jeongdong Theater_Cecil, Musical and Play Contest... Production Cost Support of 120 Million Won

[Asia Economy Reporter Seomideum] The National Jeongdong Theater_Cecil (formerly Cecil Theater) will begin accepting submissions for the ‘Changjaking’ Stage on program starting from the 26th. ‘Changjaking’ is a planned performance program of the National Jeongdong Theater_Cecil, broadly divided into Stage on and Choice on. Stage on showcases works selected through open calls, while Choice on features works chosen through expert review.

The Stage on call targets works that have undergone pilot performance stages such as showcases, readings, or main performances with fewer than 10 shows since 2015. Applications are open to previously presented works (with a performance duration of over one hour) in musical, theater, traditional, and dance genres that possess contemporaneity.

Selected works will receive up to 120 million KRW in creative production funding, venue rental, equipment investment, and promotional marketing support. Outstanding works are planned to be performed as part of the National Jeongdong Theater’s planned performances in the future.

Kim Hee-cheol, CEO of the National Jeongdong Theater, stated, “As a core creative base, National Jeongdong Theater_Cecil will strengthen creative development through strategic support targeting promising works by young artists and works that have not yet met audiences after initial development. We will establish a creative platform where excellent works discovered at Cecil Theater lead to the second production theater, Jeongdong Theater.”

Applications are accepted until November 15. Applicants can download the application form from the National Jeongdong Theater website, fill it out, and submit it via email.
