The star of the cobbles, DI Ray, Responder, The Bay and Silent witness (to name but a few), Ian Puleston Davies visited the theatre over recent days to offer his help and support to the actors of the Stageright drama club.
Ian spent the day directing and coaching the group who took to the stage with him to take his direction and guidance. A great day with lots achieved and learned from a master of the profession.
Ian has promised his continuing support and will be coming back over the next few months to do it all again so watch this space for news on how to secure your place on his next workshop.
A big thank you to Ian for his time and support
