COMMUNITY THEATRE
Workshops at your venue or online
My roots and my passion lie in community or 'amateur' theatre - but I have seen some of the best ever performances in non professional productions. I can help you to mine the text, find the heart of the play, bring colour and vibrancy to your voices, while having a ball! Fun and laughter are vital components of my workshops.
