Title Pending & Northern Stage
We take our responsibility for nurturing artists very seriously, especially in these uncertain times. Title Pending is Northern Stage's award for new theatre.  The most innovative, thoughtful and intriguing proposal receives financial support, a fully supported residency in the theatre, an experienced mentor for the artist and an ongoing commitment to support the future development of the work.  In 2011 we received 78 applications from all around the UK.  For the last two years Title Pending has been generously supported by the Northern Rock foundation.
