How Can We Help?
We love supporting in any way we can. Some of the ways we can help include:
Offering in-kind equipment and prop hire. We are currently in the process of creating a borrow library which will show everything we have in our store which we are happy to loan out.
Desk space and making space. We are based at Heart of Newhaven in Edinburgh and are happy to share our space with other creatives when we can.
Mentoring and Advice. We love meeting new creatives at any stage of their career. We are happy to meet you and grab a cup of tea to offer any advice or support we can, particularly for early career creatives and new graduates.
Internships
We recognise that careers in theatre are not always easily accessible and training opportunities are not always available. We want to support the next generation of creatives through our programme of paid internship opportunities. We will host between 2-6 interns per year in different departments including producing, arts administration, directing, design, stage management, production manager and facilitation. Each internship is specifically tailored to the individual to ensure that they get the most out of their time with us.
All our internship opportunities will be advertised in our vacancies section and on our socials. If you want to be added to a contact list for internship opportunities get in touch and we will drop you an email when applications for opportunities open.

This internship will help me greatly with my future career goals. Firstly, because it has provided me with the confidence and tools to go on to support and deliver workshops, as well as some knowledge of theory which I can take into future work and develop upon throughout my career
