We have several potential non-auditorium performance spaces and a bar with a late license that we want to fill with your work. We are looking to attract non-traditional theatre audiences to engage with an unique season of new, unconventional or experimental live events and want artists to respond to this call accordingly. All art forms are encouraged and welcome to apply.

TIME SLOTS
Lunchtime - Tuesday and Thursday, from 1:15 to 2pm.
Our lunchtime slots will be marketed to the local business area. Audience members will get a sandwich and a drink with their ticket to the lunchtime shows.

Pre-show - negotiable and case specific.
Cannot start before 6pm, and must not prevent our theatre audience from entering the bar and getting a drink while waiting for the main house performance.

Late night - Thursday and Saturday from 9:30 pm.
The late night shows will begin after the theatre shows go down, so the start time will vary. We are currently licensed to sell alcohol until 1pm, but this can be extended if needed.

MARKETING
The Southwark Playhouse will provide details of the programmed events online and will market the Secrets with a simple flyer containing a phone number and/or web link for people to use to get more information. All events will be an 'open secret', promoted virally through the internet.

MONEY
Sadly, there is none at this point. We will charge £6 box office on lunchtime and late night slots which will be used as your rent for the space. If this initiative proves to be as popular as it can be, half of the box office will be funnelled back into the Secrets project to provide budgets for shows further down the line.

We are now accepting submissions for our July season.

Please visit our site www.secrets.southwarkplayhouse.co.uk for an application form.

Deadline for completed applications 12 noon on Monday 2nd June 2008.
