Tender Loving Scenes
in Howden with Kathryn Knock
How can we create characters who feel like they’ve shared a lifetime of love, laughter, and losses - all from scratch, and often with scene partners we’ve just met? Tender Loving Scenes invites you to play with connection through language, physicality, and getting courageously squishy with you heart to create characters the audience will fall in love with. Perfect for those who want to create depth in scenes. Expect gentle emotional exploration and heartfelt play.
Ensemble: The Wedding
in Meet 4 with SomerSand
A couple is getting married — a day of joy, celebration, and anticipation. Family members gather to share the moment, the wedding planner ensures everything runs seamlessly, and the best man and maid of honor add their own sparkle. Laughter fills the room, especially when the infamous drunken uncle makes an appearance — because there’s always a drunken uncle! But as the celebration unfolds, the tone shifts. At the time, (or during) the speeches, a confession surfaces. How will this family navigate the storm and face a new reality? “The Wedding” offers performers the chance to deepen their storytelling skills, strengthen ensemble play, and experience the joy of weaving comedy and drama into a shared narrative.
