Next PILOT is 7.30pm Thursday 18th December 2008 @The Custard Factory Birmingham.

Coventry's theatrical experimentalists Talking Birds have been handed the controls for the next PILOT, and, barring dangerous cross winds, will land a collection of untested performances at Birmingham's famous Custard Factory Theatre on Thursday 18th December 2008.

Hope to see you there for mince pies and festive cheer.
 
PILOT Nights

PILOT Nights are a motley assortment of new, untested shorts from some of the UK’s most exciting theatre companies. Each last between 10 and 20 minutes and together present a glorious mix of comic, touching and peculiar performance. The bar is open all night and musicians play in the intervals. The audience are invited to get a drink, enjoy the show and stick around to let the performers know exactly what they thought.

Who runs PILOT?

PILOT was conceived and set up by Simon Day of The B-Theatre. It is now managed by: Samantha Fox - Co-artistic director and performer Kindle Theatre (www.kindletheatre.co.uk); Jess Mackinnon – Co-artistic director and performer Kindle Theatre; Paul Warwick – Director China Plate productions (www.chinaplatetheatre.com).

This core team are supported by a rotating number of Co-PILOTs who assist in the production of one PILOT Night. Co-PILOTs are all practising artists with an interest in producing/ curating.
