New Topical Sketch Show, NewsTroupe

I'm setting up a theatre company based in Falmouth. I'm hoping to get it on its legs before I move to London in September. I'm planning the first performance for April. (In the meantime I'm trying to get sponsorship and actors!)

As such I'll be looking for topical material (closer to the date) along the same lines as Treason and Newsrevue. Payment will be minimal if it's even possible. Just another outlet for the writing. Of course any material that may be still relevant at all in April will be welcomed with open arms right now!!

(Yes, I know it's a bit similar to the Treason Show website, but hey.)

Good luck with this, seems a great idea! :)

Yup. Best of luck James.

Cool, good luck. Any plans to be filming the shows for Youtube etc.? I think that'd be a big plus for writers who don't live near Falmouth to see their material performed.

Especially as noone lives in Falmouth! Yeah, some sort of filming will be a must.

Excellent Idea, James. Good luck and keep us informed.

Yeah good luck with it James

Yep, the very best of luck. It takes a lot of guts to do something like that.

Good luck James.

Good luck. Have you forgiven me enough to let me contribute?

Tss, that was nothing, and I don't bear a grudge for that long :). Although if someone I actually did dislike submitted good enough stuff I'd still use it. Don't think I dislike anyone on here though.

Very best of luck with it James. Sounds like a great idea and you are the man to pull it off.

Aaaahh.
:D

Good luck. Are you going to have a west/southern England bias? Or will it be more general news topics?

Feel free to use any of the unloved bastard children that are my skits on this forum.

Good luck.
