In 2025, to coincide with our 25th anniversary, the OSO transitioned  from being solely a receiving house (whereby production companies bring their ready-made shows to the OSO) towards being both a receiving house and a producing venue.  These in-house shows embed artist development into our programming and nurture the next generation of theatre-makers. By taking ownership of production values, the open casting process of our in-house shows provides opportunities for our Artistic Director to identify and support diverse, early career artists who might otherwise struggle to access opportunities for work.

​

Our in-house productions are made possible by the generous support of our grant funders, sponsors and Theatre Angels, whose backing helps us create and produce new work right here in Barnes.

If you're interested in supporting future OSO Productions please consider becoming a Theatre Angel.
