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."
