The Lowry

We will be running a 10 week Introductory Playback Course at the Lowry from 6.30-8.30pm, starting Tuesday 20th April until Tuesday 29th June.  The course costs £110/£90.  On Tuesday 25th May, there will be no teaching session, but participants will get a free ticket to see a performance by Playback Theatre Manchester on that night.

This is a fantastic opportunity to get a thorough grounding in Playback technique using real stories.  The course will end with a performance by participants for invited family and friends.
