Strange Town Radio Plays
Youth company team up with #artcore project
Edinburgh’s Strange Town Young Company is looking for young actors aged 18 to 25 to take part in a new project to adapt and record existing plays for radio.
The project is the company’s first collaboration with #artcore, the new multi-artist project based at Out of the Blue funded through Time to Shine.
Strange Town is looking for budding young actors who are open to learning new skills and committed to working as part of a small team.
Initial auditions will take place at Out of the Blue Drill Hall, Dalmeny Street, on March 5, 2015, with the project taking place on Thursday evenings, 7-9pm.
Steve Small, co-director at Strange Town told Æ: “The purpose of the recordings is to offer the writers and the young people the chance to do something different and learn a new skill at the same time.
“The writers are Duncan Kidd, Alan Gordon, Tim Primrose and Sam Siggs and they are still deciding which particular plays to work on. They will all be working on adapting scripts for the radio that have been previously produced by Strange Town for the stage.”
chosen scripts
Three of the scripts the young actors will be working on are short ten minute plays that were written specifically for the Strange Town Young Company. The writers will bring their chosen scripts to the first sessions and be open to working with the young actors on adapting them.
