An Introduction to Scriptwriting

Discover the joy of bringing stories to life in this fun, interactive theatre writing workshop!

Young people will explore the playful world of playwriting, creating memorable characters, writing lively dialogue, and discovering how ideas come alive on the page and the stage.

Through creative games, writing exercises, and the chance to hear scenes read aloud, participants will unleash their imagination and experience just how exciting writing for theatre can be.

Please note that this is a drop-off session; parents and carers do not need to stay.
