Aspiring writers may want to check out a series of workshops being held at Parramatta Riverside Theatres over the next couple of months. Presenters include Geoffrey Atherden, Brendan Cowell and Khoa Do.

If you love the idea of honing your craft whilst gathering tips from some of the industry’s leading professionals, then a Breakout masterclass could be just what you’ve been looking for.

Each Breakout masterclass is a full day from 9.30 am to 5.00 pm with lunch, morning and afternoon tea provided. Breakout is Riverside Theatre’s development arm, designed to foster a vibrant Western Sydney voice and identity for Riverside stages.

Selected new plays by established and emerging playwrights are supported with rehearsed readings or workshops under the guidance of professional directors and actors with the aim of establishing a group of writers of professional standard, based at Riverside.
