Welcome to DramSoc, the University of Bristol's longest-running, largest and most prestigious performing arts society! Committed to student theatre, we aim to nurture talent, produce high-quality productions and cultivate a welcoming and inclusive environment.
Buying a membership ensures that you can:
- Act, direct, produce, costume design, set design or be on the creative marketing team for any of our shows!
- Participate in our Directing Scheme or Writing Scheme!
- Attend workshops with industry professionals!
- Attend our super fun socials and formals!
Here's an overview of the show slots we have annually, all of which you can be a part of as a member:
- The intimate show slot at the Pegg in the Student's Union
- The grandeur of the Winston Theatre in the Student's Union
- The slot at the reputable Tobacco Factory Theatre
- The slot at the atmospheric underground tunnels of the Loco Klub
- An original show that we fund to go up to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival each year
- The Writing Scheme and Directing Scheme slots at the Bristol Improv Theatre
- The two 'FRESHCASE' shows for freshers and fresh faces at secret locations revealed closer to the time...
Anyone and everyone is welcome to audition for any of our shows or propose to put on a show in one of those slots, all funding provided by us!
Membership is only £10! And trust us.... it's so worth it!
... as well as participating in anything we do, being a member also gives you discounted tickets to all of our shows! So for those who are less interested in participating and just love watching high-standard theatre, buying a membership will save you so much money!
