Workshop! Start Your Play in a Day- Sat 22 October 2016, Derby Museum
We\’ve spent our most recent meetings planning, rather than our usual process of reviewing and helping develop our members\’ scripts- this month, we\’re getting ready put those plans into action.
Our aim is to write, develop and present a number of short plays created by our members over the coming months. There are a number of competitions and events aimed at short, fringe style plays across the country (and the rest of the world), so we\’re hosting a workshop to help us get started:
We\’re really looking forward to welcoming John Goodrum of Rumpus Theatre to host our workshop, and really excited to see what story ideas we\’ll see beginning before we meet again in November. There are still a few places left, so if you\’re interested. email info@derbyshirescriptwriters.com
October meeting: Sunday 2nd October, 2-4pm, Derby Museum
It\’s our last meeting before we run our workshop in October, and writing things get going again- if you\’d like to join us and see what we\’re planning, come along and say hello, or send an email to joinus@derbyshirescriptwriters.com
September Meeting: Sunday 4th Sep, 2-4pm Derby Museum
Hello! It\’s time to shake the seaside sand off our feet, put on our writing shoes, and get back to work after our summer break.
Instead of helping members develop their scripts this month, we\’re planning our forthcoming writing workshop, but if you\’re interested in joining the group, you\’re welcome to come along and say hello. If you can\’t make it, send us an email instead- joinus@derbyshirescriptwriters.com
