Hello and welcome to the website for Out The Bag Productions, a non-for-profit, theatre production company based in Wallasey, Merseyside. The company was founded in November 2005 by local actress and playwright Paula Rowlands. Since then it has evolved into a strong and active group with an increasing number of members. We actively encourage and welcome all members of the community who wish to be involved in the world of theatre. Our range of interests include acting, dancing, singing, directing and playwriting. We have a great interest in producing new and original material and so far our work has been described as "giving a new meaning to amateur theatre" and "pushing the boundaries."
So far, Out The Bag Productions has performed three comedy / musical revue nights and premiered an original major stage production, taken part in the Liverpool 800th Birthday celebrations and also produced an award winning one act play at The Leverhulme Festival in April 2008. We have also set up an actors workshop for our current members which have proved highly popular and we have also created a monthly competition called Actor Factor. As part of our programme for 2008 we are running a series of acting workshops which are open to all members of the community. These workshops include a variety of acting studies including comedy, drama, murder-mystery, horror, and improvisation. The number of places for the workshops are limited and a small fee of £2.00 is payable for each session. You don't need to have any acting experience or be involved with theatre at all. Come along and have fun while learning something new!!!! Please do get in touch if you are interested in joining our workshops or if you need some more information. Unfortunately, we can only accept members aged 17+ at the moment.
One Life Social Awareness Project On 7th April 2008 we were awarded £15,000 by the Community Foundation For Merseyside and Awards For All. This was awarded to help with our One Life Social Awareness Project - a project focusing on some of the more gritty realities of life - prostitution, drug & alcohol abuse, identity fraud, domestic assault / abuse and murder. As a way of saying thanks for this funding, we held a special cheque presentation night on which a number of VIP's attended. In true Out The Bag style, many of our members dressed in various costumes and gave speeches about their time with Out The Bag and what it meant to them. Special displays showing photos and posters of previous (and forthcoming) productions were available for our visitors to see as well as a special DVD highlighting our work. A great evening to celebrate the achievements we have made in our short history!

We plan to continue with many varied projects in the future, including producing major stage plays, writing & directing a film project for a local Film Festival and also working on a new Internet TV show...watch this space!!!! Some of our material is strictly for adults only and some visitors to this site or audiences may find it offensive. Finally, we'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all our family, friends, audiences and sponsors who have supported us so far. We really do appreciate all that you've done for us.
