The A STAGE KINDLY New Musical Theatre Initiative launched in London in the Autumn of 2008, with a sell-out run at The Battersea Barge and The Rosemary Branch Theatre called "Debut", showcasing some of the best pieces from new musicals from around the world. It was very well recieved and in response to the acclaim, an extended version of the show, "Encore!", toured London and Brighton throughout March 2009. These new-writing revues were followed with a full-length presentation: a recital of the fiendishly difficult sing "Turkish Delight the Opera", which was a great success!! Following that, projects included a third revue of international new work, "Bravo", and the world premiere preview showcase of material from the epic new musical "Soviet Zion", an industry showcase of "Don't Cry, Butterfly" at Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, and the UK Premiere of David Reiser's new musical "Ballets Russes". You can find out more about all of these shows under the sub-menu 'Productions' at the top of the page.
The name "A STAGE KINDLY" is actually an anagram, of its founders, who, as an independent writing and creative production team themselves have diverse experience and skills in many different aspects of the industry - as both as writers, producers, and as performers. Their combined skills and also the talent of their network of associates is now focussed on not just developing their own work, but also the work of other people with a similar ambition - for whom getting their work on stage may not otherwise be possible.
You can find sound and video recordings of most of our performances by navigating thorugh this site using the menu at the top of the page.
As well as staging revues and new musicals, A STAGE KINDLY offer many services to writers and composers involved in writing for the theatre. You can read more about the current services and opportunities by clicking on on the sub-menu above marked 'Opportunities'. These are open to any writer, lyricist, or composer writing for the musical theatre who would benefit from having their work exposed. We particularly welcome submissions from writers who would otherwise be somehow unable to stage or record their own music in London.
