ND Presents a Directing and Clown Workshop, led by Jacqueline Russell

🔴

Thanks to everyone who attended, be sure to keep your eyes out for more workshops in the future!

Nickel and Dime Theatre presents a Directing and Clown workshop!
This workshop, led by Jacqueline Russell, will look at how clown approaches and exercises can enhance your directing practice, as well as look at the how-to of directing clown pieces.

Participants must come with previous experience in either clown or directing, as this is not an introduction to those elements separately.

February 22nd 2026 from 2pm-4pm in Craigie Hall CHE004. No sign-up, just show up! PWYC for entry.

ND would like to announce our final show of the season, Girls Online! This show is written by Niamh McCallion and directed by Lauren Marshall. Dramaturgy is done by Eden Middleton.
Girls Online will stream live and for free on Friday April 30th at 6pm. It will then be available to watch at whatever time throughout the weekend through our discord link which will be shared on friday!

A series of conversations following two young women from different countries, who meet and fall in love through the internet. Through a new form of digital theatre, a love story is told in its most unfiltered, intimate and honest form. Echoing the ups and downs of many current long-distance relationships, this relatable and humorous story will pick you right up.

Tune in and enjoy, friends!
Have a great summer and we’ll see you next year!

Happy end of classes to everyone!
