Alrighty team, the end of our Spring Season comes with a new AD note covering all things development period (link in bio). We just want to say a huge thanks for being rockstars. We are here and ready welcome anyone who is ready to take the next step on their creative journey, ta one and all!

An image of Betti's theatre, door open with the sign shining bright, a moving body on their way into the theatre holding a disco ball. A sense of things happening. Two textured blue squares on top of the image with white text inside. Each bit of text is a quote from the Artistic Director's note. The text reads: Over the next six months, Alphabetti will enter a dedicated development period... Between now and the end of the year we will be opening our doors exclusively for artist development opportunities and private hires. I believe that an essential part of any creative ecosystem is the provision of space where artists can take risks and fail safely... A space where the only prerequisites are a willingness to learn, improve and develop.
