The Act Your Age group, which meets every Tuesday afternoon in term-time, is a friendly, supportive group for adults with a recommended age of 55 and over. We get together to explore drama techniques such as devising and improvisation.
It’s good for wellbeing, making new friends and a chance to be a bit silly and let off steam!
We are always on the lookout for new members to come and join us. No previous theatre experience is necessary.
Sessions take place at Theatre Royal every Tuesday from 1.30pm to 3pm.
Act Your Age workshop costs £75.00 per term. Bursary places are available, please get in touch.
