Bar Musicians

Theatre Royal has a thriving programme of free live music in the Bar all year round, and is always looking for new acts. Musicians play background music in our busy bar (there are often audiences going into main-house shows, as well as enthusiastic bar regulars!) on Tuesdays to Thursdays evenings; Saturdays afternoon and evenings; and Sundays afternoons. Musicians arrive 15 mins before start time to set up - and it’s important that they have enough material to fill 3 (or 4) hours, with a break.

If you are interested in applying, please send a letter with demo to: Leanda Linton, Bar & Front of House Manager, Theatre Royal Stratford East, Gerry Raffles Square, London E15 1BN; e-mail on llinton@stratfordeast.com; or phone on 020 8279 1170.

Best of Newham

Tuesday nights in the bar play host to Best of Newham, a showcase of local talent.

If you're a musician, singer or stand-up comedian living in Newham and looking for a platform to share your work, then Best of Newham is for you! Shortlisted acts will be invited to audition for the theatre's artistic team, with successful acts being paid a fee for their performance.

Alongside this, we will also offer a monthly surgery where interested acts will be given advice and tips to help them progress into the bar's programme.

If you are interested in applying, please fill in the application form and send an example of your work to bestofnewham@stratfordeast.com or phone on 020 8279 1157.
