Excitement is building as the great and the good of London’s Theatre Industry prepare to celebrate the breadth and depth of London’s independent theatre scene, beyond the West End at the OffWestEnd Awards .
This year the ceremony will be bigger and better than ever before with a programme of live performances to accompany their 2026 ceremony, as well as the introduction of live broadcasting for the first time in the awards’ history.
Since their inception in 2010 The Offies have had a history of spotlighting groundbreaking theatre before it reaches mainstream acclaim, with past winners including Baby Reindeer, Fleabag and Operation Mincemeat.
The Offies will bring together nominees from across the independent theatre sector, while also showcasing a range of live work that reflects the breadth and creativity of Off-West End performance today.
Live performances announced today include an opening musical number from host Divina De Campo, a physical theatre piece from Skedaddle Theatre’s A Brief Case of Crazy, a performance of “Nature Boy” by Ilan Evans, a one-man-band set from Martin Kaspar Orkestar, a section from Gerel Falconer’s Tones – A Hip-Hop Opera, and a preview of new musical Redcliffe from Jordan Luke Gage and Daniel Krikler.
For the first time, the awards will be streamed online in collaboration with ChewBoy Productions and The Theatre Channel, opening up the ceremony to audiences beyond the room and marking a significant step forward in how the Offies are experienced and shared.
The ceremony takes place on Monday 30 March at Central Hall, Westminster.
