SHOOK was due to take place on 26th April at Above The Arts Theatre in Leicester Square, however like all other events planned during this period, it has been postponed. Co-founders Millie Gaston and Katie Wilmore, from Harrogate in North Yorkshire, had a drink together (over zoom, of course) and decided they wouldn't let the restrictions stop them bringing some of the best new writing to their audience! They decided to host a free online version so people could be entertained from the comfort of their home, with the hope of raising money for Acting for Others through voluntary donations.

Today, Mercury Musical Developments and Musical Theatre Network, in partnership with Royal & Derngate Northampton, are delighted to announce the line-up for their upcoming BEAM2020 showcase. BEAM2020 is the UK's leading showcase for new British musical theatre writing and will take place on Thursday 26th March and Friday 27th March 2020 at Royal & Derngate, Northampton.

The first line up for All That Scratch, a collaboration between The Other Palace and All That Productions, has been announced with six pieces of brand new musical theatre. The pieces will be performed live at the recording of the first ever episode of the podcast. Tickets to the live event are just £5 from The Other Palace's website.

Ground-breaking new musical theatre event SIGNAL is taking over The Hospital Club's Oak Room for the fourth time.
