The Scratch Theatre runs events that showcase and celebrate new work in Bristol, engage audiences in feedback, and aim to connect theatre makers.

Share New Work

We are seeking applications from theatre makers and performers in Bristol to present a work-in-progress at our upcoming event. This is a unique opportunity to perform live, receive valuable audience feedback, attend workshops to enhance your skills, and connect with fellow artists. Additionally, you will gain social media support and receive professional footage and images of your performance to help you further promote your work.

Events:

The Scratch Theatre is a space for the daring, the unexpected, and the wildly creative—a night where new work finds its feet and innovation takes centre stage.

From electrifying short-form performances to original mask work crafted entirely from scratch, from immersive and improvised moments to short, strange, and wonderful plays created in just one weekend—every Scratch Theatre night is an experiment in storytelling.

We’re always exploring new ways to present theatre, offering unique experiences that connect performers and audiences in unexpected ways.

Keep your eye on The Scratch Theatre—something extraordinary is always just around the corner. 🎭
