KDC Theatre Social Night/Season Kick Off!

KDC Theatre would like you all to join us for a good old booze up on Thursday 15th March to embrace the countdown to our Spring Shakespearean Season at the Lion and Unicorn!

The Ides of March Social (aka “You’re Bard”) will be in the upstairs room at the Hoop and Grapes on Farringdon Street and will start from 7(ish)

It’s a relaxed night involving very little outside of chatting and supping (possibly quaffing), and is open to all!

You don’t have to be in one of the shows. You don’t have to like Shakespeare. You don’t have to be an actor. You don’t have to bring a ruff or dress as your favourite Shakespearean quote (although you are equally welcome to!)

Just join us to share your rapier wit!

We shall see thee anon!

Summer Season 2012

Our venue is confirmed! This Summer will be hosted at the Etcetera Theatre in Camden.

Four one act shows over two weeks:
Tuesday 10 July to Sunday 15 July
Tuesday 17 July to Sunday 22 July

The window to express interest in directing in our Summer Season of both established and original one acts is about to close, so if you haven’t contacted us yet, please email artistic@kdctheatre.com before Monday!

Round Table Readings and the Ides of March

One of our favourite seasonal events returns this Thursday, 1 March, after a long time away! KDC Theatre prides itself on being a home to new plays and new writing, and we love to read out new plays that come from within our circle of members and friends.  As such, we have three dates for you to write in your diary:

Thursday 1 March
Tuesday 6 March
Monday 12 March

All of our reading nights are open to all, with no reservation needed and no fee asked. Just turn up to read, to listen, or to offer impartial comments.

The readings will all be at our favourite haunt, The Hoop and Grapes, and will start from 7pm. We hope to see you there!

With our Shakespeare season in full force, beware the Ides of March are coming!

Mark it in your calendars if you dare – the next KDC social will be held on 15 March at the Hoop and Grapes from 7pm.

More details to follow soon …

Technical and Backstage Social – Thursday 23 Feb

Fiona and Steph request the presence of all past, present and potential future Techies at KDC’s Inaugural Tech Social.

We will be gathering at the Hoop and Grapes pub in Farringdon this Thursday 23 February, from 7pm.

We also welcome any KDC-ers who would like to catch up over a drink or two or more as well! We look forward to seeing you there.

Directors wanted for KDC Summer and Winter Seasons

From now until 1 March 2012, KDC Theatre are looking for pitches for our Summer Season which will run for two weeks in July – from Tuesday 10 July to Sunday 15 July 2012 and Tuesday 17 July to Sunday 22 July 2012.

For the season we are specifically looking to run two short plays back-to-back, one by an ‘established’ writer and the other by one of our own members.

So if you know of a short play (anything from 20 to 55 minutes) that you love, be it by Chekhov, Stoppard, Kane or Moliere, then pitch for it… You can pitch for up to four plays.

In addition, if you want the details of the plays in the KDC New Writing bank, let us know and we can send you the scripts to give the once over.

We intend to see people at the start of March regarding one of these four directing slots, so if you’re interested in pitching a play, or putting yourself forward to direct some new writing (or both), please email artistic@kdctheatre.com or chair@kdctheatre.com.

We are also interested in hearing about any other plays you may be interested in pitching for our Winter Season (dates tbc).
