Live theatre, from the wings

Seventh Avenue Theatre is an independent company and the journal that runs alongside it — about the plays we stage, the craft behind them and the people who show up in the dark.

An empty stage lit before a performance

We are a small company in a small room, and that shapes everything: what we can stage, how we light it, and who ends up in the seats. This journal is where we write it down — partly as a record, partly because the practical side of independent theatre is rarely written about by the people actually doing it.

Season

What's on the boards and why we chose it.

Stagecraft

Light, sound and set — the invisible half of a show.

Community

Workshops, open nights and a stage anyone can step onto.

Voices

Directors, actors and crew on how a play comes together.
