Are You Our Missing Act 3 Puzzle Piece?
๐๐ง๐ง๐ก: ๐ฃ๐๐๐ฌ๐ช๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ง๐ฆ / ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐จ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฆ!
Weโve got two exciting opportunities as part of our 2025 New Works Festival - and the turnaround is tight, so donโt miss out!
๐ญ. ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐ก๐๐๐๐ง ๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ง (7โ17 OCTOBER 2025)
We're seeking a team to fill a Late Night slot in our 2025 Festival. This is a 2-week opportunity to stage a new work with minimal design and tech. Flexibility is essential - teams must work within the set and lighting grid of their paired Mainstage show. Ideal runtime is 45-80 minutes. Submission deadline: Midnight, 15 June.
๐ฎ. ๐๐๐ฆ๐ง๐๐ฉ๐๐ ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐ก๐๐ฆ ๐ฃ๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ฅ๐๐ (SEPTEMBERโOCTOBER 2025)
We are now inviting Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from playwrights developing new works for our curated Readings program. Submission deadline: Midnight, 30 June.
We strongly encourage submissions that are inclusive and diverse - works that thoughtfully represent underrepresented communities and explore intersections of race, gender, age, ethnicity, and sexuality.

Join the Old Fitz Theatre's Artist Database
Accessibility and transparency of opportunities is at the forefront of our minds as we prepare to step into 2025 and a new chapter at the Old Fitz Theatre. As a result, we are launching the Old Fitz Theatre's Artist Database. The aim of this is to make it possible for a larger pool of artists to be considered for opportunities, and for teams to have a larger pool of talent to draw from to cast and crew their shows.
Join us at SCRIPTS UPSTAIRS
Come and see what the Old Fitz Theatre has on offer at Scripts Upstairs from 12PM to 4PM on select Mondays. This exciting initiative gives you the chance to read through the scripts from our upcoming Acts and explore the roles available for application.
