See event details

A event held at Bristol Old Vic on Wednesday 22nd May. The event starts at 18:00.


Producer Meet Up, co-hosted by Emily Williams & Mayk
Where; Mezzanine at Bristol Old Vic

There is little opportunity to get together in person these days and so we thought it would be nice, as part of Mayfest and as a response to findings of The Invisible Threads, to host a gathering of and for producers as a chance to connect, to talk about shows we might have seen during the festival, catch up with each other and meet new people.

You might be a producer visiting Bristol, a producer who lives and works here, a self producing artist or working on a show in the festival; you are all welcome.

We will be on the mezzanine at Bristol Old Vic from 6pm on Wednesday 22nd and would love for you to join us for a drink or two.

The meet up is free but we’d encourage you to book if you are planning to attend.

The hope is that this Producer Meet is the first of many to come across the South West co-hosted with different organisations around the region. You can find out more here: emilywilliams.co.uk/invisiblethreads

This meet up is part of Mayfest: Bristol's international festival of contemporary theatre and live performance, curated and produced by MAYK. Check out the full programme at https://www.mayk.org.uk/mayfest / @mayfestbristol
