The New Theatre produces all of its own shows, as well as hosting a number of external productions. It is a highly acclaimed, student run theatre, recently having 4 of its shows selected to perform at the National Students Drama Festival - an incredible success considering only 12 shows are chosen from across the country's Universities. Potential directors propose their play to the Committee, and then auditions are organised centrally. If you are interested at all in directing, or simply want some more information about the process, get in contact with our Productions Co-Ordinator, Gus Miller at: gusmiller124@hotmail.com New Theatre members can audition for as many plays as they like, but can only be in one play a semester. Once the plays have been cast at the Casting Meeting, the individual productions become quite autonomous. New Theatre offers a great deal to anyone interested in any aspect of staging a production. If you enjoy acting, singing, dancing, stage management, technical management, costume making or make-up work then this is your opportunity to present a successful show for capacity audiences. For those who want to do something extra, weekly acting workshops also take place with the opportunity to do small performances. There is also the opportunity to get involved in workshops for physical theatre, writing, directing and set building among many more. Find us at Freshers' Fayre, come to one of our productions or email to get in touch.
