A SERIES of three acting workshops will be held at the Crediton Arts Centre during September as a build up to Brown Paper Bag’s January production of Dylan Thomas’s "Under Milk Wood".

The workshops will be led by the show’s director Frank Kelsall, with the first two concentrating on the acting techniques he wishes to use in the production, and the last one looking more at the play itself.

Casting and rehearsals will start in October.

The workshops will be on Thursdays, September 27 and October 13 and 20.

Workshops will begin at 7.30pm (entry fee £2) and all aged over 14 will be welcome.

Frank, a relative newcomer with the Brown Paper Bag company, brings an extensive background in professional acting and production to Thomas’s classic radio poem.
