Sign up to Act!

We still have plenty of space for willing actors to take part in our evening of short plays later this year so come sign up and enjoy reading and acting in new writing!

The performance will be on the evening of Friday 1 November in Stromness Town Hall, and rehearsals can fit with your availability in September and/or October. As these are staged readings, committing lines to memory isn't essential and rehearsals won't be too onerous or numerous.

Deadline to sign up is Sunday 4 August
