Scaling up

Sat 3 Oct 2026

Venue: Kings Theatre

Join award-winning theatre producers Raw Material for a conversation exploring the opportunities and challenges of scaling work up from small to large-scale productions.

From small stages to main houses

Raw Material will share practical pointers and case studies to help you scale up with confidence. They’ll draw on their experience with Wallace, which began life at Play, Pie, Pint and has now transferred to the King’s Theatre, plus insights from across their wider portfolio.

This session will unpack the creative, financial and logistical challenges involved in scaling up a production and is aimed at mid-career artists who have experience creating small to mid-scale work and want to better understand what is involved to make the next step.

Ticket discount for participants
Participants to the workshop will receive a discounted £10 ticket for a performance of Wallace on the day of their choice. Details will be emailed out within 24hrs of your workshop booking being confirmed.
