1/2. We had a brilliant time at our second #ClassAct on tour stop at the lovely @AyrGaiety. Another fun-filled evening of first-class theatre written by young people!

And it's only just the beginning - submissions are now open to register your interest for Class Act #Edinburgh!

[GA English Department @GirvanEnglish]

Some might say we were crazy for taking 81 pupils to the theatre, but thankfully the only drama was on stage! An absolutely fantastic performance of Tally's Blood @AyrGaiety which was excellently staged and cast. @girvanacademy #scottishsettext #tallysblood

An opportunity for young writers to submit a piece of writing which could be showcased at the Edinburgh Fringe! Submission deadline is the 5th July, so if you're looking for a challenge for the start of your summer this is it!
