You’ve heard of going to the gym for your body – well Furnace Tuesdays are going to the gym for your creative skills.

The third Tuesday of each month, we are inviting artists to come together to flex their theatre making muscles, possibly to share games and exercises, but importantly to build community and find support through your peers. Any theatre maker at any stage of their career is welcome to come along, as well as some set sessions that will be guided by industry makers and facilitators. Join us even if you want to chat and share your recent career successes and challenges in a supportive environment of people on the same journey.

Playhouse Staff will be around to support, but Furnace Tuesdays are sessions by theatre makers, for theatre makers. Sign up to our Furnace Newsletter for any direct updates on some of the sessions to come this year.

Post-Furnace Tuesday Sessions

A supportive space to explore your work in progress! This could be an audition monologue or scene you’re rehearsing, a section from a play you’re writing, a stage design, an application, a song, a piece of dance or physical theatre, or anything else you’re working on, bring it along to try things out and get feedback from fellow creatives!

Everyone is welcome, whether you’re bringing work or just connecting with other creatives. If you’re an actor, you can come along to practice your sight-reading skills and discover new writing and local playwrights!
