Writing for Live Performance

It's a constant adventure, accessible to anyone with a bit of imagination and the will to make it happen.
(Suitable for adult, and senior high school writers at all levels of experience.)

There will be complimentary coffee and tea. Full day workshops will break for lunch (not provided - there are many cafes nearby), shorter workshops will pause as needed.
What free events or workshops are available?
Our Open Stage Nights and Play Reading are free to all to attend. Open Stage Nights are an opportunity for a short performance from members of the public.
I'm interested in volunteering / already volunteer but I can't come to the workshops, can I still take a volunteer membership? Yes! Please sign up to a volunteer membership and let us know what areas you're interested in. Signing up to volunteer membership lets us contact you with opportunities.
I'm already a financial member of Titirangi Theatre, do I need to also become a volunteer member?
Not all of our members are able to volunteer, so it really helps us to know that you are interested. Please sign up to a volunteer membership and let us know how you'd like to help.
