Fired Imaginations – Community Project for the South London Theatre We are looking for local ceramic artists with experience of community projects to help us deliver a Heritage Lottery Funded project that celebrates the history of the Old Fire Station on West Norwood High St. The Old Fire station was built in 1881 and for the last 49 years has been home to the South London Theatre. We are currently undergoing a refurbishment programme on this very special listed building and […]
It’s been a long time coming … but today the contractors who have been set with the task of restoring our Grade II listed Old Fire Station moved into the site at 8am this morning. Camelot Europe who have provided security for the building since last year handed over keys to Matthew Cox, Commercial Director of Ash Contacting Ltd. at 9am. The live-in guardians who vacated the Old Fire Station in the last 24 hours left the building exceptionally clean and tidy and we are […]
Graham Rice and Steph Urquhart are delighted to be able to announce their cast for SLT’s October show. “We were blown away by the talent and sheer enthusiasm of all those who turned out for us (on a personal note, I’ve never had so much fun in an audition room before) and we really appreciate everyone’s patience as casting has only very recently been finalised. Scarborough by Fiona Evans is a little bit of something different for the season and […]
We are delighted to welcome Carly Binger back to SLT in the role of the SLT Youth Group’s Training Director. Herne Hill based Carly will be taking on the position with immediate effect and is currently receiving her hand-over from out-going Director Rebecca Twydell. Rebecca is leaving London to try Bristol for size, and we would like to wish her, and her partner Lee, all the very best in their new home! Carly was a member of the SLT for many […]
It was a massive blow to our restoration project when our initial contractors pulled out back in May within weeks of the building works to begin. SLT immediately rallied the troops and began a renewed fundraising push to raise an estimated shortfall of £150,000 to secure the future of our theatre. At that time building contractors Ash Contracting Ltd, who had previously tendered for the project, were approached and a new period of negotiation began to formulate a new scheme of work that could be delivered […]

Siobhán Campbell, director of Simon Stephen’s Bluebird announces her cast: “The auditions for Bluebird managed to drag 47 theatrical types through the doors of Stanley Halls this month. Both fantastic and terrifying. I’ve honestly never had such tough decisions casting and got through a lot of post-it notes in the process. I won’t say Bluebird is unlike anything I’ve ever directed before, as that would be a lie. I imagine the process will be somewhat different though. Working with a cast of […]
We are recruiting! Could you help the South London Theatre continue to run one of the best value Youth Groups in London? We are looking for a new Training Director to continue to develop our Youth Group. The Youth Group has been an integral part of our work in the community. Each Saturday during term time, we run affordable drama classes for local children and young people. The Youth Group is currently operating from St Luke’s church in West Norwood. Due […]
Submissions for next year’s season now include the period from July – December. Since SLT looks set to return the Old Fire Station in the winter of 2017, it makes sense to programme the whole year at this time rather than splitting the season into two. Whether you’re a first-time director or a seasoned pro and you would like to direct at any time next year, please get your submissions in as soon as possible. The deadline for submissions is midnight on July 31. […]
