Open@TheStudio
A new programme for local theatre makers and producers based in Edinburgh and the Lothians.
Wee Ones Winter Commission
Capital Theatres, Aberdeen Performing Arts, and Eden Court Highlands are thrilled to invite proposals from Scotland-based artists, producers and companies to create and produce three new festive productions for young audiences. Staged at Lemon Tree in Aberdeen, the Studio Theatre in Edinburgh, and Eden Court in Inverness, this exciting collaboration will bring joy to families and school groups.
The chosen productions will debut in December 2025 with a run of up to three weeks, and will be restaged in 2026 and 2027, giving each show a run at all three venues.
Calling Engagement Artists!
We are inviting engagement artists to register your interest in working with us on future projects. Our door is always open for engagement artists to get in touch. We work collaboratively with freelance facilitators on a number of projects across the year, and we also strive to create opportunities for professional development, collaboration and networking. We hire on a project-to-project basis and are happy to hear from artists who would like to be added to our books.
Join our mailing list!
We are here for early career artists and new graduates, independent artists and companies, self-producers, mavericks, dreamers, and year-round believers. We want to make The Studio into a home for those who are forging their own way in the industry.
If you want to understand the nuts and bolts of how things work, add new tools and techniques to your own creative practice, connect with new collaborators, or get an idea up on its feet, we have something for you.
From networking events to workshops with visiting companies, R&D residencies to scratch nights, Open@TheStudio is throwing open the doors of opportunity.
Below you can find the information about the full programme as well as links to book.
