Leeds based professional theatre company Cento Productions was founded in 2006
Cento’s name is derived from the Latin, cento, which meant mosaic or patchwork garment, and has come to mean a literary work compiled from other works.
Cento recognised production and performance as their forte and have been commissioning new pieces for performance.
Script Night Format
The Script Night format, in which 5 to 10 minute plays are performed script-in-hand, but fully staged, by professional local actors, evolved from discussions with The Carriageworks and has proved popular with growing audiences since Cento’s first Script Night outing in October 2007 and are now produced once a season at the venue.
Currently Planning 2010 productions and ventures.

Hi David & all,
Progress is being made, we just started sifting through the plays. It's a slower process this time round though we are planning to have the chosen ones recorded, edited and broadcast at least once by the end of September.
