Hayes Theatre Co will invite independent producers looking to put on a musical or cabaret at Hayes Theatre in 2025 to submit applications soon.

Independent productions operate on a Venue Hire basis at the Hayes, with some support from Hayes Theatre Co, such as inclusion in our annual subscription season and brochure, specific marketing support, and ticketing services. Our Artistic Directors assess all independent submissions, then discuss shortlisted shows directly with the producer(s) of those projects. Except in extraordinary circumstances, all independent productions are programmed as part of our annual season, and announced at our season launch in September each year. 

Please read the 2025 Independent Producer Information Document before submitting an application. Producers should submit their interest via the submission form.

Producers may contact us to discuss their application prior to submitting. Please direct all enquiries to submissions@hayestheatre.com.au
