Iris Theatre today announce their first PLATFORM events for 2022, a monthly showcase night, championing early career artists, from a variety of disciplines. The line-up includes musician Tee Peters on 28 January and musical theatre composer Flora Leo on 20 March, with further artists to be announced.
Paul-Ryan Carberry, Artistic Director of Iris Theatre said today, “Our PLATFORM events throughout 2021 have proved to be a hugely successful way of giving a voice and space to exceptional new talent. After launching The POD in autumn, the opportunities we can offer artists and creatives have only increased. To announce Tee and Flora as the first two artists in 2022 is a massive honour, and so exciting for our wonderful audiences who have shown such immense support for PLATFORM events.”
