This June, Seven Dials Playhouse will host its iconic Pride Season, and with it comes a curated programme of LGBTQIA+ artists to the heart of London's West End. 

From 3 to 22 June, The House and The Pen will feature a diverse selection of shows celebrating queer culture, spanning a variety of genres, including drag, clowning, cabaret, and comedy, with a lineup that includes both returning favourites and exciting new talent.

The Pride Season marks a fresh chapter for Seven Dials Playhouse, introducing a new programming model that is collaborative, artist-driven and focused on supporting the LGBTQIA+ community. It's set to be a radical, joyful celebration of queer voices, with highlights that range from intimate solo performances to enthusiastic group spectacles.
