We are looking for 11-14 year olds from Tameside to take part in a week-long half term project about drama and theatre making. The group will create a new play from scratch under the expert guidance of director Martha Simon and perform it on Saturday 31 May as part of the Den Festival.
The new play will be called Congrats! and will be created around the theme of celebration. Everything else is up to you!
When?
Monday 26 May – Friday 30 May from 10am – 4pm each day
Saturday 31 May – performance day (exact schedule for this day is TBC)
You must be available for all the dates.

The project (and the Den Festival) is all taking place at Stalybridge Civic Hall, Trinity St, Stalybridge SK15 2BN
You don’t need to have done any performing or theatre making before!
If you are interested, please fill out this form by 5pm on 28 April
We will be in touch with you to inform you if you have a place on the project by Friday 2 May.
