AUTUMN SHOW - Cast and Chorus Liz
Buy Little, Buy Less, Buy Nothing at All by Claire Dowie
This is the World Premiere of the only unpublished play by acclaimed playwright and practitioner Claire Dowie (Stage2’s patron)! Claire is a writer, performer, poet, comedian and pioneer of Stand Up Theatre, with an acclaimed and lauded career spanning 40 years. Liz will be directing this production which has been specially adapted for Stage2 by Claire - moving it from London to Birmingham. The play is about consumerism – do we really need to buy as much as we do, as often as we do? Some scenes are sad, some are funny, some are powerful – all will make you think.

Morning Workshop - Over to You! 
Led by our new Performances Manager, this workshop will be chosen by the members and vary from week to week meaning that there is something for everyone!

AFTERNOON OPTIONS (1:30pm – 5pm)
General Drama
We are delighted to be welcoming back Louis Delaney to run this option this term. This workshop will be the usual mix of exercises to give you a grounding in all aspects of performance. As well as learning valuable and varied skills to feed into your acting and drama knowledge and experience, (both inside and outside the company), there will be plenty of games and fun. Highlights will be shown to relatives and friends in the Sharings at the end of term.
