Burton Taylor Studio HT26 Bids

FULL APPLICATION FORM AND NOTES

The Burton Taylor Studio has now opened bids for productions in Hilary Term 2026.

Any questions, please email Noah Wild, The University Drama Officer, at drama.officer@admin.ox.ac.uk

The Burton Taylor Studio is a 50-seat black box theatre, run by The Oxford Playhouse on behalf of the University of Oxford. An ideal place to put on your very first student theatre production, it is also a highly flexible and adaptable space that works for more ambitious and experienced teams. You’ll have the support of Robert (the studio manager) and the Tilly (the studio assistant), who both work for The Oxford Playhouse, throughout your production process, should you need it.

There are 14 potential slots available to student productions in each term: an 'early' (7:30pm) and a 'late' (9:30pm) slot in weeks 2-8 of Full Term.  An early show must last no more than 90 minutes. A late show is similarly restricted to no more than 60 minutes. Occasionally we are able to allot a full evening to one project - a double slot.

Deadline is 5pm Monday of 6th Week. Applications - using the application form linked above - should be emailed to both drama.officer@admin.ox.ac.uk and robert.bristow@oxfordplayhouse.com
