Are you a fan of acting, dancing, and performing? 

Ever wondered what it’s like to make a play, on stage or behind-the-scenes? 

Then come join us as we create our very own play-in-a-week, at The Princess Theatre & Arts Centre, Burnham-on-Sea this Summer!

Week: £85 or Day: £25

What can I expect?

Over the week, you will be creating your own piece of theatre, from scratch, with some of Somerset’s most exciting professional theatre makers. During the action-packed four days working with Somerset Youth Theatre, you will make a Play that you will perform in Burnham-on-Sea at the end of the week. 

During the week, you’ll learn how to stage and perform in a play as professional actors teach you the skills and techniques of Dance, Theatre and play making. 

The Week Will Include:

Acting, Directing and Making a Play: Learn the skills to make and create your own play that is sure to make your audience laugh (and maybe even cry!). Creating your own story participants will work together to make a play in 3 days, and rehearse and perform to the audience on the 4th day. Hone your skills in acting and/or directing – the choice is yours. 

No experience necessary, and a willingness to play a must! 

Dance, Movement & Physical Theatre: Ever wondered how performers remember their moves and come up with ideas? Learn performance and choreography, with your friends and as part of a cast. Create your own movement and learn dance skills in Street Dance, Contemporary and traditional dance to help tell your very own story to an invited audience. No dance experience necessary and suitable for all abilities.
