Following the huge success of the 2022 Take Ten Play Festival, Gemco Players are now gearing up for 2023 Play Writers Festival.

Gemco invites you to consider being one of the actors or directors. This is a wonderful opportunity for those who like to step on the stage, or shape a story, but can’t commit to a full length play. Each play is under 10 minutes and is performed over a weekend at the beginning of May.

Interest for Directors:

Gemco invites Directors to come along for our play reading afternoon on Sunday 5 February 2-6pm. when Gemco judges will select the final 10 plays. This is a good chance to get a feel for the plays on offer as they will be read aloud by a group of the current actors.

Audition for Actors:

Auditions will start on Sunday 12 February at 1 – 3pm.

If you are interested please contact Joy McLeary on gemcoplayers@gmail.com

Performances in May:
