An Event is generally meant to refer to a live theatrical performance or screening. This can also include read-throughs, open rehearsals, workshops, works-in-progress and masterclasses. This section should be used to promote yourself and your work, both to your fellow students and the industry and public at large.

Firstly, the main page to visit is the Add Event page, which contains a listing of recent events plus search options relating to events.

Are events moderated?

We do monitor events and will pull any that we feel contravene our terms and conditions.

When will my event listing go live?

It gets published to RSS and search results immediately, but can take up to an hour to appear on some pages such as the homepage, because we employ caching to improve page loading speeds.

My event listing doesn't appear. Why?

See 'when will my event listing go live' above. Additionally, it could be that you've specified incorrect dates for your event. If you've registered and logged into the site before posting the event, you can go and edit your event listing from your profile homepage.

If you have any suggestions for improvements of our event listing and searching functionality, please let us know.
