Throughout each year, the SSA will provide workshops and events for its members in addition to the main productions, so please check here regularly for what’s coming up. If you are thinking of joining, you are very welcome to come along to any of these events to meet us and experience how we work.
Whether you are interested in acting, directing or working behind the scenes, we hope some of our workshops will help build confidence and generate ideas.
Details of each event will be added to the dates below as soon as they are agreed, and please do contact us via thesouthseashakespeareactors@hotmail.co.uk if you have an idea or would like to run a workshop.
Workshops will usually begin at 7.30 in the SSA HQ and finish somewhere between 9 and 9.30.
