PLAYWRIGHT PROJECT PRINCIPAL PARTNER ANNOUNCED

Playwright Project Principal Partner Announced

The Millennium Forum is delighted to announce that its longest running corporate sponsor, Diamond Corrugated, will continue its partnership with the North West’s premier theatre.  The local firm will now join forces with the award-winning venue as the new Principal Partner of its Playwright Project 2025 which is currently running until 2026.  Eight finalists are already working alongside Brian Foster to develop their work before final judging in a few months’ time, when one of them will get to see their play professionally produced for the Forum’s stage as part of its 25th Anniversary celebrations.

Cara McCartney, Creative Engagement Manager at the Millennium Forum, is delighted with the new partnership.  She said:

“Diamond Corrugated have partnered with us since the very beginning and have been one of our most loyal sponsors of one of our corporate boxes, so we are very grateful for their continued support. As part of our ongoing commitment to nurturing local artistic talent, their support will enable us to continue to develop our playwright project well into our 25th Anniversary year in 2026.  I look forward to an exciting new Principal Partnership!”
