About WRITE UP

WRITE UP

This playwriting programme will equip members aged 12-19 with useful skills needed for writing a script. The group will learn playwriting techniques throughout the term and write an original play together, which will be staged at CYTO in the summer of 2025! We will also share the script with family and friends through a private 'rehearsed reading' towards the end of the term.

TERM DATES

Saturdays 4.15-5.45pm from 14th September - 7th December (no sessions on 26th October)
