Volunteer
Are you passionate about theatre, live arts and community events? We are always on the lookout for reliable people to join our team of volunteers to help with box office, ushering, bar work and the day-to-day running of the venue. If you would like to get involved and become part of Front Room’s voluntary team please get in touch by clicking below and we can have a chat about how you can help:
Bring your show
Do you have a show you want to put on at Front Room? We are always looking for exciting new productions and ideas to try onstage. Our aim is to support as many up-and-coming artists and companies based in the South West as possible but we also host suitable touring shows. Our stage is around 4.5m by 3.5m when using the raised platform but can be bigger if using the floor space of the venue. We can configure seats and staging in a variety of ways as everything is moveable. With an end on production on the raised staging we have a capacity of 75 audience members. The space has limited but good technical capabilities. We work on a box office split with all visiting companies.
​
When contacting us about your show proposal, please use email only and please include as much information about you/your company and your proposed production as possible (that includes images, video links, website links and reviews – please do not send entire scripts) as well as information on roughly when you are looking to bring your show here and for how long. We generally programme events at Front Room 2-6 months in advance. The theatre’s programme is a curated mix of theatre, comedy, music, spoken word, dance and family shows. We have a particular interest in devised work and new ideas, shows that celebrate the liveness of the theatre. If you feel your production is right for Front Room, we look forward to hearing from you.
​
Please be aware that we are currently a small team and replying to emails can sometimes take a while! If we are interested in your production and think it would fit the programme here at Front Room we will get back to you as soon as we can – this may be several weeks.
