The Oxford Playhouse Theatre Slot TT26

The Oxford Playhouse welcomes student theatre every term to perform on its main stage. From large scale plays to the glitziest of musicals, there’s no bigger student stage. Offering unparalleled technical capacity, alongside support from staff at The Oxford Playhouse itself, this is the stage on which to let your imagination go wild.

Though leading an OP production is mostly recommended for students with theatrical experience behind them, don’t let this prevent you from applying – ideas and passion get you just as far. The most successful student production teams at the Playhouse have a complete mix of experienced and less experienced members in their company.

To submit a bid please fill in the below application form which includes more guidance and information about the slot. Note that no more information is required other than answering the included questions and attaching a provisional budget.

There is one slot available for a student production in TT26. This will most likely be in Week 4 of Trinity Term (though be aware this may change before the application deadline!).

You are also required to contact the University Drama Officer prior to the deadline to discuss your application so that we can support you in making your bid as strong as it possibly can be.

Deadline: 9am Wednesday 12th November (5th Week). Interviews will follow in the fortnight after the deadline.

The Oxford Playhouse One Night Only

A new opportunity for a student group to stage a one-night-only on the Oxford Playhouse stage. You can pitch a proposal as one society or student group, or come together as multiple.

The Oxford Playhouse offers one of the largest stages in Oxford within a 600-seat auditorium. The parameters of what this performance can entail are broad - it could be a night of stand-up or sketch comedy, a musical variety or an a capella showcase, a theatre production - we’re open to your ideas of how the space could be used. However, it will need to suit a one-night performance and the limited technical rehearsal time in the space that this allows.

If you’re unsure that your proposed idea will be suitable, contact the University Drama Officer who will be able to advise. It will help to take a look at the upcoming performances on The Oxford Playhouse website and see what type of work is often programmed in the space.

The date for the slot on offer is Monday 27th April, the Monday of 1st Week (there is a small chance this will change to Tuesday 26th May but we will be able to confirm this by the application deadline).

Contact Noah Wild, the University Drama Officer, at drama.officer@admin.ox.ac.uk with any questions.

Deadline:  9am 12th November (5th Week)
