Calling all teenagers!
New Voices is a 9 week playwrighting programme for 15-18 year olds who are interested in creative writing and theatre.
Participants will get a chance to explore fun writing exercises, test out ideas with peers, and be guided to write their own short play. These short plays will then be performed as a rehearsed reading by professional actors in a showcase on Saturday 16th December.
During the programme, participants will also attend a play together at the theatre.
No previous writing or theatre experience required.
