What are the workshops?

These workshops are for anyone who disinterested in being involved in a community play about Croydon and performed by people who live and work in the borough of Croydon.

The summer workshops will be an opportunity to find out more about the project, contribute ideas about the content of the play and take part in a practical workshop as a taster for the project.

The Community Play itself will rehearse weekly at the BRIT School throughout September and October 2014 with performances in November 2014 in one of the school's theatres.
