Have a scene that you want to see on stage? New music that you want to test out? Our scratch night events are a welcoming environment for both established and emerging creatives to share their work in front of an audience!

Current and upcoming scratch night events that we host include: Taking Centre Stage, Poet’s Corner, and Embers Showcase. These are dotted within our Summer and Spring festival programming.

Meet your future collaborators

Need an actor for your short film? Want to grab coffee with a fellow producer? Our events and programs are a great way to meet your future collaborators! Participants at our activities have gone on to connect with new venues to put on their own work, found out about new and exciting drama classes, and met creatives with whom they continue to work with.

Thank you to all of our Collaborators!

“Dela’s vision to build a community that is accessible and empowering for creatives, is necessary. Stoke the Embers champions ideas and people in equal measure, regardless of age, experience or status.”
