Teens at Garrick Workshops Begin Today

TEENS aged 12 to 18 can learn more about acting and stagecraft in free monthly workshops at Garrick Theatre - no previous experience necessary.

Running from 10am to 1pm on a Saturday, the first TAG (Teens at Garrick) workshop is being held today, June 21.

The workshops are coordinated by Gail Lusted, a drama teacher, actor and director for more 20 years, responsible for directing the successful youth production of John Marsden's So Much To Tell You at the theatre recently.

She says she is keen to share her passion for all things dramatic.

"The aim is to run monthly workshops exploring all aspects of theatre and stagecraft including improvisation, voice, lighting, mime, masks, characterisation, set design, audition techniques and monologues," Lusted said.

"It's hoped TAG will be able to enter a play in next year's Youthfest and various other competitive short plays festivals around Perth."

To RSVP, or for more details, email glusted@westnet.com.au.

Please note: while the workshops are free, participants must be become members of the theatre - $10 a year for under 18s, $25 a year for those 18 and over.

Garrick Theatre is at 16 Meadow Street, Guildford, opposite the Stirling Arms Hotel and Guildford Town Hall.
