ETL’s Playhouse is open!
We are thrilled to announce the launch of ETL’s Playhouse, an exciting new initiative from English Theatre Leipzig! Starting April 2025 we offer a programme of regular workshops designed to explore different themes related to theatre-making and performance. Workshops will be conducted in English and are open to everyone, no previous experience necessary.
Workshops now running
“Yes And…“
Drop-in theatre games and light improvisation workshops led by Josiane Segar and guest facilitators.
➔ Next session October 22nd at 18:30, led by Josiane Segar
Upcoming session: November 26th
Looking for a relaxed, playful introduction to theatre? “Yes And…” invites you to jump into a world of creativity, spontaneity, and fun. A relaxed, fun workshop focused on theatre games and light improvisation, open to everyone. No theatre experience is needed — just a willingness to play, explore, and have fun while picking up foundational theatre skills.
Pay what you can (suggested: € 5 – 20). We never want to exclude people who can’t pay – even if you feel this is beyond your means, do come along anyway!
Writers’ Group
Writing workshops for beginners and experienced writers alike.
➔ Next session to be announced
Whether you’re an experienced writer or trying your hand for the first time, our Writers’ Group offers a supportive space to develop your scripts and new ideas for stage performance.
Upcoming Workshops
Worst Audition Ever
Fun and practical audition sessions led by Connor Fox. More information coming soon!
And more to come..
ETL is also preparing to host staged readings and scratch nights, coordinated by Peter Hubbard and the Events Committee. These events will offer a chance for participants to showcase their work-in-progress pieces before a supportive audience of ETL members and friends.
Please Note: This list is not exhaustive. More workshops and opportunities will be added as Playhouse continues to grow. We aim to offer at least two sessions per month, and a full workshop calendar will be available soon.
