Soho Theatre Company is a charity. Our aim is to produce new plays, discover and develop new writers and reach new audiences. We read over 1,000 new scripts a year, sending a free detailed report to each writer. We work intensively with over 100 emerging playwrights. And each year our Writers’ Attachment Programme develops 6 outstanding new writers for the stage, TV, film and radio. We run workshops in primary schools, each year introducing 300 children to the thrill of writing for the stage. We organise a young writers’ programme working with over 200 14–25 year olds. And we run an education and outreach programme to help disadvantaged and diverse groups within the community. Of course, every new writer wants to see their play performed on stage. Our theatre is often the first to make this happen. We commission around 20 plays a year and produce a year-round programme of bold, original and accessible new writing. Over 80,000 people visit our theatre each year.
