WorkshopsOur programme of workshops is intended to broaden and enhance the theatre skills of old hands and tenderfoots (tenderfeet?) alike, but also to provide everyone with the opportunity to meet up and have some fun while engaging with, and learning from, other enthusiasts. You'll also be able to learn about the plays we're going to be doing and let us know if you'd like to take part in them.
We'd like to get the whole community involved, so attendance at workshops is open to members and non-members alike. We charge just £3, in order to cover the cost of room hire, with the exception of recruitment workshops which are free to all. All workshops are held at the Unitarian Meeting House on Churchgate Street in Bury St. Edmunds, starting at 7.30pm We look forward to seeing you! RESTART WORKSHOP!Unitarian Meeting House, Churchgate St, Bury St Edmunds
7.30 pm til 9.30 pm Monday 17 May 2021 Come and take part! According to the Covid recovery timetable and all being well, 17 May is the first day indoor sports are to be permitted. We figure this means indoor theatre participation also. So, after such a long and painful a silence, we intend to restart our theatre group on that day with a general workshop open to everyone with an interest in theatre. Appropriate Covid precautions will be put in place but we hope these won't interfere with the fun we're sure you will have. Better than baking soda bread and a lot more sociable... New and old members alike will be warmly welcomed. If you have been thinking about taking up or resuming your theatre involvement during the tedious hours of lockdown, this is the place to start! At the workshop we will introduce our first post-Covid production, Twelfth Night, rehearsals for which will start on 23 May. So, there will be no time to lose in casting the production immediately after the workshop and getting it into rehearsal. We'll also introduce other productions we have in mind for the year ahead. These are for performance at the Theatre Royal, the UMH and the Guildhall. The normally twice yearly recruitment workshops provide an opportunity for new members to introduce themselves, and for us to introduce all of our members to the plays we have scheduled for the months ahead. Workshops are fun and nobody is placed under any pressure but we'd love to get to know you and figure out how best we can give you some of the enjoyment of taking part either on or off stage, as you prefer.
