KDC SUMMER SEASON LAUNCH
Tuesday 2nd May 2023, 7pm Theatre Deli Leadenhall bar 107 Leadenhall St, London EC3A 4AF
Hear the showrunner and directors talk about the production and answer your questions. You can also find out more about getting involved with KDC Theatre, including backstage roles.
No need to book a ticket or let us know in advance. Feel free to come along and meet the team!
Our 7th annual Full Stack show will be staged at Hen & Chickens Theatre from 27 June to 01 July 2023.
The winning plays of our writing competition will be staged by our directors, in an anthology show of short plays about a mysterious package sent by a character called Charlie. Each play will feature a story inspired by the package, Charlie’s letter, and the relationships that surround it, but we never get to meet Charlie themselves.
For more information, check out the audition notice here: A Package Deal
Auditions are free and open to all. Please pick one of the dates and read the audition notice to prepare.
The terror. The excitement! THE ANTICIPATION! These are the things going through a writer’s head when that thing they wrote is read out loud, in an actual theatre. Come and support the new cohort of KDC Theatre’s New Writing Group in their creative exploits with an evening of rehearsed readings that celebrate all manner of creations and experimentations. Be surprised and entertained by new plays written by the next generation of playwrights – and be the very first to hear them!
There’s no telling how this will turn out, because when it hits the air, it’s an entirely different story.
