CALL: STUDIO FRANCIS EBEJER
30.06.25Got a script you’d love to get off the ground?
Teatru Malta, Teatru Manoel and Spazju Kreattiv in collaboration with Arts Council Malta have united once again to unveil this year’s edition of this playwriting project. With this open call, we are extending an invitation to scriptwriters for the submission and development of theatre and radio plays, primarily in the Maltese language.
Studio Francis Ebejer is a golden opportunity for both emerging and seasoned scriptwriters, setting the stage for their creations to come to life. This project, riding on the history of the Premju Francis Ebejer and the Atelier Francis Ebejer, is designed to equip writers with the essential resources for thorough research and development. Our goal is to cultivate three high-caliber scripts that will resonate on stage and radio, each culminating in their production by our trio of national cultural institutions.
This year’s edition builds upon last year’s successful collaboration between Teatru Malta (under the care of the National Agency for the Performing Arts), Teatru Manoel and Spazju Kreattiv with the backing of Arts Council Malta to ensure a bright future for new work in Maltese.
HOW TO APPLY?

In the case of a high amount of submissions, the Artistic Directors reserve the right to nominate a representative to assist in the selection process.
