Submissions for Independent Musical Productions for 2026 are now OPEN!

Submissions for independent producers looking to put on a full-scale independent production at Hayes Theatre in 2026 are now open.
Independent productions operate on a Venue Hire basis, with support from Hayes Theatre Co including specific marketing support, ticketing services, creative and logistic consultation, and inclusion in our annual subscription season and brochure. Our Co-Artistic Directors assess all submissions, then discuss shortlisted shows directly with the producer(s) of those projects. A selection of independent productions are then programmed as part of our annual season, and announced at our season launch in September each year.
Venue Hire
Information about the venue hire agreement and the costs involved can be found in the following document:
