Programming

Seven Dials Playhouse operates on a six-season per year model with three themed seasons. Our programming team is open to proposals for shows in each season via our submissions form for each of our theatre spaces below.

To understand what we’re looking for when we build our season programmes, please read our Artistic Policy.

Submissions open for each season 6 months in advance and will remain open for a 30 day period only.

Submissions are open for Origin Stories!

In the first of our themed seasons, we invite artists to explore the pivotal experiences that influence who we are today and who we might become. Origin Stories is a celebration of beginnings in all their various forms. It’s about the moments that shape us, the narratives that define us, and the voices that rise up from starting something new.

We’re excited to hear your interpretations of what Origin Stories might mean to you. Whether it’s a  reflection on personal experiences, a re-imagining of a cultural myth, or a brand-new creation, we welcome any work that explores themes of identity, transformation, and new beginnings. 

As always, we encourage a wide range of genres and styles—please check out our Artistic Policy for more information on what we might be looking for. And have a look at The House and The Pen to see which space might suit your work best.

We are currently taking submissions for our September to November programme. The current submission window will close on 9th May 2025.

Learn more about our two theatre spaces and how to submit your work to the programme. You'll also find more information on what we're looking for in each space.

Invite Us To See Your Work!

We’re always on the lookout for new & exciting work. If you’d like to invite our programming team to see your show, please send details of the show and how to book tickets to programming@sevendialsplayhouse.co.uk.
