The Freelancers’ Holiday Hangout – at No. 38
Join fellow theatre freelancers for an evening of drinks, nibbles, and backstage banter – a chance to toast the year, swap stories and celebrate the magic we make (onstage and off). And let’s face it, we all deserve a bit of holiday cheer right now (and someone else to clink a glass with).
Thursday 18 December from 7pm | 38 Mayton Street, London N7 6QR

Venue Hire at No. 38
No. 38 is a beautiful Grade II listed gem in the heart of Finsbury Park, London.
Tucked away on a leafy street, this historic building once served as a youth services hub for Islington Borough Council. Today, it’s buzzing with creativity as the shared home of four exciting theatre companies: New Earth, Paines Plough, The Gate, and Tamasha.
Digital Producers Programme 2025
Tamasha has selected five ambitious theatre producers ready to step into the future of digital storytelling. From August to November 2025, they’ll take part in an intensive, hands-on programme led by Digital Mentor Tuyết Vân Huỳnh. Together, they’ll explore audio production, XR technologies, and the art of digital producing — building skills, creating new work, and shaping the future of theatre.
We Demand an Immediate Ceasefire and a Free Palestine
We want to find ways to support global majority artists who have been directly or indirectly affected by the destruction taking place, to have space and support, to be able to voice what they are feeling without censorship or fear, to find solace in the company of others, and kindness in a community that understands.
TELL DEM: Series Three – a SHIFT special
Following the success of two incredible series, we are back with two new hosts, directors Gitika Buttoo and Beth Kapila who will dig deep into our ground-breaking intervention dedicated to decolonial practices in theatre: SHIFT. Featuring guests including Milli Bhatia, Gail Babb, Dermot Daly and more!
TELL DEM is produced in partnership with Transmission Roundhouse.
Celebrating 35 years of Tamasha
From championing Global Majority artists to producing award-winning productions, we’re proud of our journey. We’ve nurtured rising stars through our Developing Artists Programme, pioneered digital theatre, and pushed boundaries in storytelling.
But the challenges ahead are real, with arts funding and access still limited for many. Help us continue our legacy and create change.
SHIFT – A commitment to moving forward Global storytelling in the UK
A call-to-collective action to celebrate how global perspectives on our national narrative is vital for British theatre. SHIFT aims to redress the balance around commissioning and dramaturgical practices in the sector that have historically been nurtured through a Eurocentric lens. In partnership with Bristol Old Vic, Beyond Face and Belgrade Theatre, Coventry. Funded by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation.
Tamasha’s call to action: we must decolonise the theatre sector

About Tamasha
We’re a home for emerging and established artists from the global majority. A theatre company that’s been championing lesser heard voices and stories since 1989.
“The work of Tamasha is vital. Their mission of creating a home for a new generation of artists from the Global Majority is a leading light within our industry.
