Musical Theatre and Drama Society

Welcome!

We are the newly re-established Musical Theatre and Drama Society! By combining musical theatre and drama, we hope to provide a space for all those who either love to perform, want to explore performing, are techies at heart, and just love the theatre! We pride ourselves on being an incredibly welcoming and friendly space. Whether you are a theatre student who wants to facilitate their learning, or someone who simply wants to try something new, our society is the place for you!

What we do!

Musical: Every year in first term we put on a full-scale musical production, meaning we'll be looking for actors, set designers, tech crew, and front of house to make this production happen! We've previously done productions of Sweeney Todd, Made in Dagenham and The Addams Family! Rehearsals take place on a Thursday (6-9) and Sunday (12-6), so these will be our weekly sessions in first term.

Workshops: We will, in second term, have weekly workshops on different theatre themes. For example: improv, lighting and sound, writing, singing, and dance. Sometimes these weekly workshops will include visits from alumni and collaborations with other societies. 

Cabaret: Hopefully the weekly workshops in second term will lead to a final cabaret at the end of year. Perform a number from your favourite musical, write a short play, improv, monologue - it's a cabaret! Waht is performed will be decided by you!

Trips: We hope to do two theatre trips within the academic year, as well as nights in Venue and Locos.

Join us!

We want to create a space where you feel free to express your creativity in whatever form that may be, and offer a musical space that is unlike any other extracurricular offered. Do not hesitate to get in touch with one of our committee members on Instagram if you have any questions or queries: @brunelmusicalanddrama.
