Get Involved - Writing
Whether you fancy yourself onstage, backstage or offstage, Progress Theatre offers a variety of ways for you to get involved.
We’re all volunteers here, learning on the job and from each other. There’s always room for more though, so if you want to pick up a new skill, perfect an old one, or share your expertise with us, we’d love to have you.
We offer a variety of opportunities to budding playwrights based in and around Reading.
Whether you’re looking to meet like-minded people, join a workshop, or even see your writing performed on stage!
Reading Playwrights
Launched in 2019, Reading Playwrights is now a thriving community of writers based in and around Reading. We host a mix of monthly workshops, short courses, and feedback groups. Our aim is to offer amateur and pre-industry playwrights opportunities to develop, and a community in which to grow their writing practice.
All workshops are free of charge and open to beginner and more experienced writers. To take part, you must be 18+ and live within 20 miles of Progress Theatre, Reading.
