From Page To Performance: Bringing Characters To Life On Stage

Keep On Keepin' On, a ne play by award-winning writer Mick Martin is coming to Blackpool this May!

Join Mick at Blackpool Grand Theatre for a high-energy, hands-on acting workshop inspired by his hit plays Keep On Keepin’ On and Once Upon A Time In Wigan. Currently touring to Blackpool Central Library (28–31 May), Keep On Keepin’ On is a soulful, heartfelt, and hilariously chaotic tale of love, family, and survival set to the blistering soundtrack of Northern Soul.

In this session, you’ll explore how to take a character from the page to the stage, building your skills in voice, movement, characterisation, and live performance.

Whether you’re an emerging actor or just starting out, this workshop is designed to boost your confidence and stage presence.

Refreshments will be provided.
