Wee Ones Winter Commissions

Aberdeen Performing Arts, Capital Theatres and Eden Court Highlands are thrilled to invite proposals from Scotland-based artists, producers and companies to create and produce three new festive productions for young audiences.

Staged at Lemon Tree in Aberdeen, The Studio in Edinburgh and Eden Court in Inverness, this exciting collaboration will bring joy to families and school groups. The chosen productions will debut in December 2025 with a run of up to three weeks, and will be restaged in 2026 and 2027, giving each show a run at all three venues.

This exciting collaboration plays a vital role in nurturing Scottish artistic talent by offering producers and writers all the support, resources and budget required to put on a show. This includes production and running costs, funding to remount the show in subsequent years, technical and front-of-house support and a full marketing campaign. 

Applicants must:

• Be based in Scotland - we are particularly interested in applicants based in the Highlands, Aberdeenshire, Edinburgh and Lothian

• Have prior experience of delivering at least one professional production

• Be able to commit to the creation and tour of the production from 2025 - 2027

• Proposed productions should not have been presented in full at any other location before.

• We are also committed to fostering diversity and inclusion in our industry, and we warmly encourage applications from individuals and teams from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds.
