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.
