Sunday evening - All

7pm - 10pm SHOW TIME for the general public, family and friends.


This weekend is for people that have a joy and desire to make new theatre and are keen to make contact with people locally for future projects. You will need to be a team player. Actors will spend the day together with the Directors, breaking down the script, discovering characters and working to bring the piece to life.


We believe in producing collaborative, theatrical experiences that challenge people and allow art to be made. That said there will be some parameters on the writing material we are prepared to showcase. Generally we want this piece to be respectful to individuals and cultures, and follow our ethos: Inclusion across race, ethnicity, health, disability, gender, age, religion, identity and experience which is central to us as humans and us, as an organisation. 


We aim to keep this event as financially accessible as possible and offer Pay-What-You-Can-Afford prices.

The venue is wheelchair accessible and has a wheelchair accessible toilet.
