Playhouse East supports the creation of new work through old ideas—bringing actors, writers, and directors into the same room. Expanding on the innovative work of Actors East, we offer training, workshops, and collaborative programs designed to remove barriers to creating new work.
We are a tiny team of passionate actors, filmmakers, theatre makers and creatives. we have received no funding, private or public. We need your support, buying a coffee in our cafe, a ticket to a scratch night or just signing up to out mailing list really does help.
We are also home to 15 creative studios available for hire, with current residents including filmmakers, audio post-production specialists, video editors, musicians, and fashion designers.

Founded in 2018, Actors East forms the base from which everything else is built.
We specialize in developing new work through improvisation, and we provide comprehensive training for actors, writers, and directors.
Since our start, we have subsidized over 9,000 hours of studio hire time for unfunded artists and projects through our ‘Pay What You Can’ scheme.
