Looking for summer theatre fun? How about coming along to a Bridge House Young Company taster session?
At the Bridge House Theatre, we offer interactive theatre workshops on a weekly basis for children ages 7-18 and on Wednesday the 22nd of July and Thursday the 23rd of July we are running free taster sessions. Come and see what it's all about!
Ages 7-10 at 10am-11am (60minutes) 22nd and 23rd of July
Ages 11-18 at 11.30am-1pm (90minutes) 22nd and 23rd of July
Book a place and join us for a morning of creativity, collaboration, and commitment to the dramatic arts, led by our amazing workshop leader Imogen Tong ([email protected]). During the session, participants will explore the theme of ‘escape’ through practical theatre methods, including games and acting exercises. Attending these taster sessions can also aid with the entry to our 3 company cohorts in September.
At the start of the ‘new season’ beginning in September, we will be holding auditions for 'Treasure Island' a timeless tale of companionship and adventure written by Robert Louis Stevenson. Will you dare to join the crew and set sail on the mighty Hispaniola?
We look forward to seeing you on the stage this with us this summer, escaping into a world of performance and imagination.
