Free workshop

No previous experience required.

This easy-going family-friendly workshop is for everyone! Perhaps you're already in the Am-Dram scene and you fancy strutting your stuff in one of the solo numbers? Or maybe you've always fancied a go but were a bit shy to turn up to a well-established troupe...? Or you're wondering what to do with the family on the bank holiday weekend...? Either way, you're very welcome to come and let your vocal cords rip with a bunch of friendly people.

Stan Kell will take you gently through your paces and the morning will culminate in a sharing of what you've been up to, around 11.40. Friends and family are very welcome to come along.
