The plan: Bridgend's only theatre. the only official pub theatre in all of South Wales! Looking to become the hub for local creatives in the area and surrounding. Unique to the area and intimate (but adaptable) 25-30 seat space. For all creative practice. 


Bringing a Fringe theatre scene that's missing to this part of the country is something that is vital to us, looking at the thriving London Pub Theatre scene, we hope to encapsulate a sprinkle of that culture in the town which we met, attended Bridgend college and began our journeys together as a company.


Providing an inclusive platform for a wide variety of promising new plays, adapted classics, new musicals, intimate gigs & performance based pieces, as we build a strong community, through outreach and accessible ticket pricing (introducing a cap), mainly across the South, Lower-Mid, West & East of Wales; aiming to eventually and predominantly incorporate at least one community and one youth project per half-year.

 


A producing, independent theatre - run by Shed Theatre, part-time (initially three days a week; rising to four), in line with The West House Hotel: From in-house productions, to annual new writing festivals, award/development schemes, East London transfer options and in-house publishing. Also running in-house workshops and a self tape/audition help service.
