The Bread & Roses
​Emerging Companies Award

From the very beginning The Bread & Roses Theatre has been dedicated to providing fair opportunities to companies and theatre-makers from all backgrounds, by offering box office splits without any upfront fees or reserves. With the Bread & Roses Emerging Companies Award the theatre is going a step further and offering one company a one-week-run for which they receive 90% of box office takings as well as awarding a runner-up prize of a Sunday/Monday slot with 90% box office takings. The previous winners of the award have achieved a sell-out run!
