FREE new writing taster session
Are you aged 13 to 20yrs and have a passion for writing? Chester Performs is looking for 15 budding young writers to take part in a writing project. If you think you’ve got what it takes come along to a FREE taster session on Wednesday 19th December from 6.30pm to 9.30pm at Stanley Palace, Chester.
Those that attend the session will have a chance to try out their writing skills and find out how to get involved in a new project starting in January. Led by Action Transport’s Associate Writer Kevin Dyer, participants will meet on a monthly basis and will be able to see their first ideas transformed into a finished script. The play will then go on to be performed in a production staged by Chester Performs later in the year.
Chester Performs has teamed up with one of the country’s most renowned young people’s theatre companies Action Transport Theatre for this project. Together they are committed to making the very best plays for, by and with, young people.
For all those interested in taking part in the project please come along to a FREE taster session taking place on Wednesday 19th December from 6.30pm to 9.30pm at Stanley Palace in Chester City Centre. To register for the session all you need to do is contact Amber Jones, Project Coordinator for Chester Performs on 01244 409113 or email amber@chesterperforms.com
