Education and outreach
​We offer on-stage pre-show sessions with members of the acting company and creative teams which explore how the text has been brought to life in our current productions.
 
We intend to launch an ambitious new education and training programme providing opportunities for different sectors of the Community to access workshops and the expertise from our ensemble. 

With our new production of Dracula, we intend to outreach to local schools and other community organisations to provide drama and education workshops.
Literary Department
Carabosse aims to work with local play wrights to help discover, nurture and produce new plays and to develop their skills to the highest possible standard championing new writing within Milton  Keynes and the surrounding area. Writers that work with us will experience working closely on text and story with a dramaturg and the unique opportunity of workshopping closely with the Company, assisting with future developments and productions.
 
Writing workshops are planned for the near future for both beginners and writers with experience. We intend to create a group of Carabosse in house writers and through these workshops and classes we shall develop and produce. Dates and information to be confirmed.
 
We will accept unsolicited scripts and they will all be read but not all will be chosen for production but we will offer feedback from an experienced dramaturg for a fixed fee - contact us for more information.
