Join us for "Play in a Day," a unique celebration of our vibrant performance communities. Forming a part of our West Coast Current Theatre Week, you will be challenged to collaborate in small groups to devise and perform a play in a day.
How it will work
Each group will receive a basic scene outline, as well as a bag of goodies, to inspire their own narrative.
Groups will be supported by theatre practitioners Hannah and Imogen to devise their scene.
The final part of the day will be a performance of each scene, to build a joyful, and very possibly hilarious, show.
This show will be open to friends and family.
Come and let your creativity run wild as we build a story together, one scene at a time. Grab your spot now and be part of a fun, hands-on day filled with performance, imagination, and community!
Housekeeping
This event is open to all aged 16+. 14–16-year-olds must be accompanied by a participating adult.
