An extravaganza of unfinished, one-off works-in-progress of varying artistic disciplines with the unique opportunity to react and give feedback to the artists and theatre companies in the early stages of developing new work, to help shape it – presented by The Wardrobe Theatre


Calling all of you that have a creative theatre project brewing! Would you like to try it out in front of a friendly, warm and reflective audience? We are accepting applications for ITCH! 2027.

We would love to see applications from early career theatre-makers or those who are trying something new and are particularly interested in Devised Theatre and New Writing. We are only interested in those based in the South West.

To apply, please fill in the following form: https://forms.gle/MvSsobS1ttdGzQdr6

We have space for 4 artists/companies to share 15 mins of WIP work on the night and if offered a place, this will include:

  • free rehearsal space to practise the piece
  • dramaturgy
  • feedback on 3 specific questions you want to ask the audience of the piece, collected and sent to you

Deadline for applications is 3pm on Friday 19th February 2027.

ITCH! events are full of excitement and bring the creative community together to connect as well as share work. We hope you will leave inspired or even with a new person to collaborate with!
