Call for Submissions: Seven Dials Playhouse announces mini showcase season

Following a critically acclaimed premier season, which has seen sold-out shows and a string of five star reviews, Seven Dials Playhouse is calling for applications for new works to being included in its  mini season, running this summer.

Four shows will each run for a week at Seven Dials Playhouse this July in this brilliant opportunity for artists, with substantial support available from Seven Dials Playhouse. The deadline for submissions is 10am on Monday 30 May. 

The season will focus on contemporary texts, plays, musicals and new writing. Seven Dials Playhouse encourages applications from work in the late stages of development, or work that is not yet financed for a longer run. In line with Seven Dials Playhouse’s current producing model, successful applicants will forgo any theatre hire fee as well as benefiting from the use of production office space, and free rehearsal space. They will also receive a box office split and marketing and  producing consultation. The four shows that will make up the month-long season will be announced  in June. 

Chief Executive of Seven Dials Playhouse, Amanda Davey, said: “Our debut season at Seven Dials Playhouse has exceeded our expectations and we are excited to build on that success. Ahead of Season 2, we want to offer an opportunity to producers whose productions are not yet ready for a  fully-fledged run to showcase their work in a West End venue. Collaboration is at the very heart of  our programming model at Seven Dials Playhouse and with this in mind, we offer free rehearsal  space, no venue hire fees and a box office split, and our team will also be on-hand to assist with your  marketing and producing strategies. Our hope for this mini season is that it is filled with diverse  storytelling, and we particularly encourage submissions from voices that are currently underrepresented.”

Applicants can submit their shows using the ‘Submissions’ form here.
