Growing Bolder have teamed up with County Youth Arts for Read the Write Act, a week long project which culminates on Friday 28 August, 6pm at Old Library Media and Arts Venue, Mansfield with a script-in-hand performance.

Read the Write Act is a play-in-a-week intergenerational project working with published writer Mike Wilson and theatre director Becky Matter to inspire a group of 14 to 18 year olds and sixty something’s in Mansfield to write and develop their own monologues and duologues, comedy sketches and short scripts for each other to perform at the end of the week. To facilitate the exchanging of culture and language, breaking down stereotypes of how people of all ages are perceived; the group will then perform a script-in-hand performance of their pieces written for them by the other age group, and share with the audience their experiences of the week.

If you would like to come along and view the script-in-hand performance please email Jayne Lewis Growing Bolder Co-ordinator at jlewis@Mansfield.gov.uk to book a free seat.
