Acting With A Script Workshop

If you have been looking to get more comfortable with script work, there is a practical session coming up that focuses on the fundamentals of performing with a script in hand. The Acting With A Script Workshop is scheduled for Saturday, 16 May 2026, and it is designed specifically for new and developing actors who want to explore techniques often used in auditions, audio drama, and theatre. It is a straightforward approach to understanding how to use your voice, movement, and the text itself to build a performance.

The session runs for 120 minutes, from 13:00 to 15:00, and takes place at Sweet @The Yellow Book on York Place. The structure of the workshop involves working with short, original scripts. Participants will have the chance to rehearse these under direction and then perform them on stage at the venue. It is a hands-on way to practice the initial stages of marking up a script and interpreting the material, rather than just reading it aloud. The workshop wraps up with a brief discussion and feedback session, which allows everyone to share their experience and thoughts on the process.

Facilitating the session are Thomas Everchild and Philippa Hammond, who are representing a collaboration between Afterthought Productions, Studio 1919, Sussex Playwrights, and Brighton Actors Networking. The cost to attend is £15.00, with a potential £1 booking fee if you choose to reserve your spot online. It is a focused environment intended for those who are actively looking to develop their acting skills in a supportive setting. If you are interested in the technical side of script work and want to see how it translates from the page to the stage, this session provides a clear framework for doing just that.
