Set design workshop held at theatre

Woy Woy Little Theatre will be hosting a set design workshop at the Peninsula Theatre over the weekend of April 28 and 29.

The workshop will be conducted by Trish Ryan, a lecturer at Charles Sturt University in the BA Design for Theatre and Television program.

"Trish has had many years experience designing for theatre, film and television, with some of her TV design credits including shows such as GP, World Series Debating, Race Around the World and Wildside," theatre director Ms Brenda Logan said.

"In theatre, Trish has worked with such troupes as Sax and Violins and Choir Practice, as well as on a number of experimental outdoor theatre works.

"This set design workshop will be of benefit to anyone with an interest in designing for theatre, or for students looking to apply for directing or technical production courses such as those offered by NIDA and WAAPA.

"This rare opportunity to receive first-hand advice from a qualified theatre industry professional will be of great interest to the Central Coast's ever expanding theatre community."

The workshops will be conducted at the Peninsula Theatre, Woy Woy, on April 28 and 29, from 10am to 4pm.

The cost is $10 for students, $20 for Woy Woy Little Theatre members and $40 for non-Woy Woy Little Theatre members.

Participants must be 16 or over to take part.
