ABOUT US:
Drama Soc is the LSESU's one-stop shop for all things theatre! Join us to perform in plays and musicals onstage, or to get involved in directing, tech, and production backstage - or just to get discounted tickets to all our shows (and access to our top-tier socials)!
Each year, we put on four full-scale productions (two plays in Autumn Term, one musical and one play in Winter Term). Don't have the time to commit to working on a production? No problem! We also organise discounted trips to some of the biggest theatres in London, so you can experience West End performances at a great price - and with great company ;).
Alongside our shows and trips, we hold regular socials, Open Mic Nights, and a '24-Hour Musical', where we audition for, cast, rehearse, and perform a whole musical... in only one day! If you're interested in writing your own material, we're also putting on an 'Original Writing Festival' this year - as well as a hopeful trip to the Edinburgh Fringe!
We have some excellent shows lined up this year (stay tuned on our socials to find out which ones very soon!)
Finally, we are delighted to be a frequent Gold Star society, as well as being the 'Society of the Year' in 2020!
MEMBERSHIP:
All memberships cost £5. Purchasing a membership will give you access to all aspects of the society: discounted tickets to our shows, the opportunity to audition or be involved in the production team of a show, discounted theatre trips to the West End, invitations to end-of-show parties and cast mixers, access to the Arts Ball, and much, much more.
EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES:
In Drama, we offer a huge range of events and activies, depending on what you want to do! Whether that's participating in productions, attending discounted professional productions, or writing your own original material, there's something here for everyone!
We also do our best to hold socials and cast mixers regularly throughout the year (as often as every week)! In 2023/24 these included Open Mic Nights, ice skating, theatre trips, the Bernard Shaw Awards, and potentially over 100 trips to Shakespeare's Head (the drama Wetherspoons).
And this year, for the first time ever... Drama Soc will be hosting an Arts Ball in collaboration with Music Soc, Dance Soc, Fashion Soc, and many more creative societies at LSE! Make sure to keep an eye on our socials for more info about everything we have planned for you this year :D.
