Brief Summary of our Activities
Writers submit their work for consideration by the group for performance in a rehearsed reading. The readings are performed during one of the group’s fortnightly meetings. There is a short rehearsal period for actors and directors. There is no remuneration for this work or for any work carried out by members on behalf of AWL. | |

In order to maintain high standards, the AWL Committee, elected by the membership, have drawn up guidelines to clarify the criteria by which writing is selected, actors cast, and directors nominated to take charge of productions. |
AWL continues to develop to meet the changing needs of its growing membership. Accordingly the AWL Committee regularly review the rules governing AWL to ensure that the membership have equal opportunities to practise their skills. |

Casting

Stephanie Connell will also accept printed text (if you must) and photos for scanning. |

The materials required are as follows:
Alternatively, if you have a Spotlight page, simply give your Spotlight View PIN to Stephanie Connell and she will copy your details from Spotlight. If scanning your own photographs, please note that 150 pixels per inch is sufficient for our needs. Higher resolutions are counter productive for the internet since they take up significantly more memory, are slow to download to visitors' screens and don't look any better on screen than the low resolution equivalent. |
