This event has been rescheduled from Tue 11 Feb 2025

A bunch of local theatre makers, comedians, dancers, musicians, actors and clowns are going to try some new things – and you’re invited to experience it.

Join us as we sample the delights of a smorgasbord of bold, fresh, new work in progress performances.  It’s the first crucial part of a journey for the acts and a left-field night like no other for the audience.

Our promise to you:

This’ll be…

Unpolished. Random. Uproarious. Vulnerable. Inspired. Awkward. New. Joyous.
