Calling all budding playwrights

Good morning. We wanted to notify parents about an initiative that will launch on The One Show this evening (Thursday, 25th June 7pm – BBC1).

‘As You Write It – Your Play on Stage’ is a national young person’s play-writing competition that has been organised by The Shakespeare North Playhouse and The One Show.

This initiative has been months in the making and is a really exciting opportunity that will allow more people to hear about the Playhouse as it continues to be built in Prescot.

Importantly, the competition is a chance to engage our children and young people in a creative activity that we hope will spark imaginations and potentially a lifelong interest in the theatre, arts and culture.

All the competition details will be shared on the programme and will be available on the BBC website after the show.

It would be wonderful if any of our children could enter – even maybe win it! Get your thinking caps on children and good luck!
