Series of plays mark Scarborough's Beach Hut Theatre Company’s 15th birthday - here is the rundown of productions at the town's library for February and March
There’s a change to the format this year. For Script Hut Nights: Get the Party Started the audience can watch each play and then choose to give written feedback to the writers if they wish. This will help the writers to develop their writing skills and script ideas.
Artistic director at Beach Hut Theatre Company, Alison Watt said, ‘It’s 15 years since we began producing plays in Scarborough, working in the town to develop new writers, actors and directors.

"With exciting tales of alien invasions, masked balls and a group of cats planning a great escape, it’s the perfect way to start our celebrations and get the party started."
Four plays will be performed each night on February 12, 19, 26 and March 5. All events are at Scarborough Library Concert Room and start at 7.30pm.
Tickets cost £5 per night and will be available on the door. There’s plenty of space for social distancing which will be in place across all performances.
