Probationary Theatre will present the Autumn Shorts Show and those interested in getting involved should let Probationary Theatre know so they can pass your details along to others. The application deadline is Aug. 31.
The Shorts Show is a night designed to provide an opportunity for individuals or groups to showcase or try out new works. Each short performance must last a maximum of 20 minutes. The idea is just to give your new idea a go in front of an enthusiastic audience.

For more information, please email
