This November, house southeast theatre network will bring together arts professionals from independent London theatres and its network of regional theatre venues and arts organisations in the South East; offering theatre artists and companies in the early stages of their careers a day of practical panel workshops, conversations and connections.

Hosted by Stanley Arts in London on Friday 13th November 2026, venues at the forefront of artist support including: Shoreditch Town Hall; Cambridge Junction; The Garage, Norwich; Colchester Arts Centre; Norwich Theatre; artsdepot; Chichester Festival Theatre; Farnham Maltings; and Queen's Theatre Hornchurch, will offer their insights, before the floor is opened to around 20 artists and companies to share a snapshot of their work and ambitions.

Set to demystify the theatre industry for new artists, Pitch Up: Beginning will also feature panels and practical sessions in how to work with venues to create meaningful relationships, and how to sell and market your show.

Applications for early career artists are now open, closing on Wednesday 14 October 2026.
