“TALKING FACES” – A new digital series from BlackburnDrama Club COMING SOON… 🎭
As we won’t be having any on stage performances for the remainder of the year, we are gearing up to kickstart a new series of Lockdown Monologues, in the style of Alan Bennett’s “Talking Heads”, as something to watch for our members and audiences alike.
We have many talented writers in the Club and we are calling out for people to pen a 5-10 minute script telling the story of someone during lockdown. These can be humorous, or dramatic, emotional or satirical. Suzanne Nolan has very kindly offered to “ghost write” any story ideas that people may have but not able to write themselves. Anyone else willing to help Suzanne with this, please let us know! Anyone who would like to write and act/film their piece great, if not please send us your scripts and we can find an actor for you!
Your options are as follows:
1) Write AND record own Talking Faces piece.
2) Write piece but submit for someone else to perform and record.
3) Bullet point ideas for a piece for Suzanne or someone else to write.
If you are solely interested in acting someone’s monologue or writing up the ideas of someone else please let us know!
This is open to everyone, whether you have worked with the BDC before or not! Once we start receiving a few entries we will start to put a schedule together when we can start releasing them for the world to watch! ❤️
Blackburn Drama Club Statement:
Following the latest government advice, Blackburn Drama Club have been in talks with Blackburn Empire Theatre regarding this week’s production of Amy’s View. Blackburn Empire have confirmed the theatre will now be closed until at least 1st May 2020.
We can therefore confirm this week’s production of Amy’s View has been postponed.
Furthermore, unfortunately we can confirm we have also postponed our Annual General Meeting and May’s production of Death of a Salesman.
We now find ourselves in a difficult situation, financially and are calling on you our devoted and loyal audiences to help.
We are a registered charity and local community theatre company, run totally voluntarily for the local community. Whilst we endeavour to refund any purchased tickets, any donated ticket money for the postponed productions would be gratefully received as we look to recoup our costs.
Finally, stay safe and we look forward to receiving some better news in the future so we can welcome everyone back for our 2020/21 Season.
