Are you ready for the challenge? Probably the most exciting thing 7-16 year olds can do during the summer holidays this year. In the course of just one week we will create a new play. Everything from devising, rehearsing and performing the final show will be done in just five days.

What’s the play? We don’t know yet – you’ll find out on Tuesday 30 July – when the clock starts ticking.
Dates: Tuesday 30th July to Saturday 3rd August 2013 (5 days)
Times: 10am to 4pm each day
Performance: Saturday 3rd August 2013
Where? Lakeside Theatre, Colchester
Who’s it for? Anyone aged 7 to 16 years old (Update 24/6 – we plan to have age specific groups for younger and older children so the course is fun and relevant to everyone)

Price: £60.00

PLEASE NOTE: Once a place has been booked on this course you will receive a telephone call or email from a member of the community & education team within 5 working days to gather more information about your child.

This course is in partnership with Mercury Theatre Colchester – if we’ve sold out of spaces, try booking on their website here http://www.mercurytheatre.co.uk/event/a-play-in-a-week/

This event was formerly advertised and sold as ‘Summer Drama Play Week.’ If you booked for that your places are still valid, we are now in the process of contacting bookers to talk about the changes. If we haven’t contacted you yet please email us on info@lakesidetheatre.org.uk
