Venue Description

Theatre Deli has been a driving force within the arts since 2008, taking over empty spaces in city centres, and creating hubs that support emerging artists, companies and communities whose identities, backgrounds, disciplines or work are underrepresented in theatre. Currently operating in Sheffield and London, Theatre Deli works to develop diverse audiences, artistic communities by providing safe suitably resourced environments for everyone to experiment with, develop, showcase and enjoy art. We support and invest in artists through residencies, drop-ins, jams, festivals, co-productions, in-kind support and so much more.
