Have you ever wondered how a musical is created? Come along and join us for a unique, day-long workshop where you’ll join a professional workshop process with theatre-makers, Jen Fletcher and Harry Blake, to learn and perform new parts of a brand new musical: Mermaids.

Mermaids is a warm-hearted comedy about a drama group in a remote Cornish Fishing Village. A feel-good show about teenage obsession, local politics, and our need for glitter in a world full of grey. The day will culminate with a performance to family and friends.

This workshop is presented by Falmouth International Arts Festival, ImPOSSIBLE Producing, Sea Witch Theatre and the AMATA Arts Centre.

Supported by Arts Council England and Feast.

Fees

Workshop fee: £5 per person for ages 11-17. No previous experience necessary.

This event aims to provide places to young people who may not otherwise have opportunities to participate in musical theatre. The event has been highly subsidised in order to keep the cost of attending to a minimum. However, if the cost is an obstacle there are a small number of bursary funded places available. Please contact boxoffice@falmouth.ac.uk for details.
