We are delighted to welcome casting director Gaby Kester who will be working with members to share her wealth of experience and offer insight and advice.

Following a talk Gaby will provide members with the opportunity to do a mock read using scripts she has cast and will offer feedback and advice.

Prior to the workshop Gaby will send out a selection of scenes for members to choose from and prepare. 

There will be further opportunity for questions at the end if there is time.
