A bit like PILOT's unruly little sister, PILOT Light creates a space for artists to let untamed ideas off the leash for one night only.
PILOT Light is a brand new Birmingham ‘scratch theatre’ event offering a very informal performance space for untested and unpolished ideas. It’s an opportunity for theatre artists from the West Midlands to test out 5-15 minutes of work that is right at the beginning of its developmental process in front of a curious, confused and courageous audience. It’s also a chance to find out who else is doing what in the area, make new creative connections, meet, mingle and mind-meld.
Taking place on 15th July from 7.30pm at The Victoria (pub venue next door to the Alexandra Theatre), tickets are only £2 on the door, so come and treat yourself to a smorgasbord of exciting, original and inventive theatre, get to know the people who will become the future of the industry in our region, and be part of the action!
Pilot Light is produced by Katherine Goodenough and Katharine Kavanagh, and supported by PILOT, Kindle Theatre and China Plate.

PILOT
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.
