Producers Platform Theatre Event to Launch at St Pancras International
Launching on Sunday 26th February, St Pancras International will be hosting a regular event, on the last Sunday of every month from 3pm-4pm called 'Producers Platform', for performers to preview a range of new productions before they move to mainstream London theatres.
This innovative programme will allow new and established producers to present an extract from their company’s show, as well as giving them a chance to take questions from an engaging station audience, and network with other theatre producers, artists and industry peers.
The showcase will feature a range of quality companies from the innovative Political Arts Company, to the exciting performance trio Mitsotu, as well as regular work from the ScenePool Creative Producers and Quirkas Productions. The scheme, which will give theatre producers a much welcomed showcase, has been endorsed by the 14 Camden Theatres venue managers who praised the station for “supporting small scale theatre in a time of recession by giving a boost to new vibrant creative work.”
Following the Council’s recent attempts to support the work of creative producers in the borough, St Pancras International is pleased to work in partnership with theatre production company ScenePool, Camden Theatres, a consortium group of venues within the Camden Borough and Quirkas Productions to deliver the Producers’ Platform which will help raise the profile of the quality theatre work that makes Camden the home of the British Fringe.
Wendy Spinks, of High Speed 1 (Owners of St Pancras International), said: “St Pancras International has a strong history of being a hub for culture, supporting the best of local talent across music, dance and now theatre. Producers Platform is a brilliant opportunity for those passing by to get a real taste for fringe talent in Camden and in turn it provides a much needed space for emerging producers to showcase their work to a large diverse audience.”
