Pull Back the Curtain 2015 - Seeking Participants
Youth Scriptwriting Initiative
Following last year’s full-house performances of selected scripts, Pull Back the Curtain returns! Join us to put pen to paper in a programme packed full of fun writing experiments, shared readings and great creativity tips – and let us help you bring your scriptwriting ideas to life.
Through a series of 5 intensive workshops led by professional theatre director and playwright Clare Stearns, Pull Back the Curtain 2015 will guide you towards writing your own original 30-minute play and help you develop and discuss your ideas along the way. At the end of the programme, three scripts will receive a staged reading and the play with the most promise will be transformed into a theatre production.
This programme is suitable for participants aged 14 to 25 with a keen interest in theatre and writing. To apply, please complete the online registration form which includes submitting a 300-word English writing sample (any style/theme). Places will be allocated to selected applicants.
