"Autumn Alert"

Yes, we know summer’s barely arrived but the secret of good comedy is timing -  and that means planning ahead. So whether you’ve got a comedy script/idea/ just a scene or two or simply want to find out if you’ve got funny (writing) bones, here are our Autumn highlights….

• A rehearsed reading on stage of YOUR script by professional actors
• Analyse your work with Jan and guest speaker, producer Pete Atkin
• Enjoy a special rate if you book for both days

You won't want to miss out, so ink these days in your diary NOW!

Sunday September 26th - find out how to work that funny idea into the best possible shape

Saturday October 30th - we're in the Main Hall on the stage! It's a very special chance for you and your work to shine, with a readthrough by professional actors and notes from the experts!

Our guest speaker on both One Day Workshops is the hugely talented and admired radio producer Pete Atkin, the power behind such radio classics as Second Thoughts, Just a Minute, After Henry and Yes Minister.
