Welcome to Traverse 3, our online venue, full of events, shows, workshops and other activities, which can be explored and enjoyed wherever you are!

There's a huge range of stories available, created for, or reimagined in, a variety of formats, including films, podcasts, audio plays, performed readings and open access scripts, as well as conversations and provocations for audiences to join. And we're delighted to be working with many partner companies and creatives to present the most cutting edge and stirring shows around, including many world premieres.

Throughout February we'll be presenting our biggest ever series of creative development activity in the First Stages Festival, a celebration of the Traverse’s commitment to nurturing and supporting new voices, and expanding the skills of new and experienced creatives with the ambition of producing ever more transportive and meaningful experiences for audiences.

This year’s First Stages Festival offers a wide range of interactive workshops, Q&As, readings and creative prompts for first time writers to seasoned theatremakers, so there's lots of chances to get involved and unleash your creativity!

We hope you'll join us.
