We are one of the Guild's friendliest societies and we have something for everyone; from backstage to main-stage. Come along to our auditions (dates soon to be posted on this website), our workshops (no experience needed), backstage meeting or our next social.

The society produces around 8 full scale productions each academic year, as well as taking a production up to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival! On top of this our society has a strong social element and looks to support our members with regular workshops. The ethos of this student-run society is to produce professional productions, work in a fun environment and involve as many students as possible.
