SUBMISSIONS
We are now programming for Spring 2027 onwards.
Our seven-nights-a-week programme is an exciting mix of new writing, lost gems, re-polished classics and innovatively-staged musicals. We get excited by stories that are dramatic, suprising, and have something to say about the world we live in now - and we love to support ambitious theatre-makers in presenting bold and imaginative productions.
Benefits of bringing your production to the Hope Theatre include:
* Minimum guarantees against box office splits post-production with no hire charges
* A range of run lengths from 1 night to 4 weeks
* Black-box space with adaptable seating
* Reduced-price rehearsal space
* Trained front-of-house staff
