PEOPLE aged over 55 with an interest in acting have the opportunity to take part in weekly Chance to Act classes at Number 8 in Pershore.

The classes offer the opportunity to get together with like-minded people and share a love of drama, explore improvisation, script-reading, ensemble work, characterisation and devising.

The group will create a short new piece of theatre for performance, with themes decided on by the group.

The classes will be led by experienced theatre practitioner Tiffany Hoskings.

They will take place on Friday mornings from 11am to 1pm from Friday January 12 to Friday March 23 and cost £4.50 per session including a hot drink.
