Theatre for everyone.
Join now

Welcome to UCL Drama Society!

We are the hub of all things theatre here at UCL. Be it acting, directing or producing, we have opportunities for all experience levels - from complete novices to those looking to round out their resumes. Across the year, we offer a range of opportunities at a variety of levels, from friendly workshops and fun socials, to large-scale theatre productions.

UCL Drama Society endeavours to put on several professional scale shows a year in our very own Bloomsbury Theatre and Studio spaces, as well as several term shows. Following on from a highly successful production series last year, this year’s Bloomsbury theatre production will be David Edgar’s Jekyll & Hyde.

Our members also have the opportunity to perform in a variety of external theatrical spaces, including highly regarded London theatres, through our exhilarating festival and term show opportunities. In particular we often work with the Camden People’s Theatre, just down the road from the Bloomsbury campus.

Festivals are an exciting and fast paced means to showcase new writing, try your hand at production roles or simply just to connect with like-minded creatives. We offer consistent festival opportunities through our acclaimed Term 1 BAME Reclamation Festival and Term 2 Pride and New Writing Festivals. We welcome all members to get involved, whether you are a performer finding your acting feet or a writer wanting to try more experimental theatre! 
It’s not all just productions, of course. We also offer workshops for developing acting skills, directing and producing guidance, and for honing playwriting talent! We also hold socials so you can meet your fellow members and make friends, and offer volunteering opportunities - of a theatrical nature - in the local community.

We take utmost pride in being located at the heart of one of the biggest dramatic and creative hubs in the world and want to showcase the incredible opportunities and joys of theatre to you. We welcome all abilities and commitment levels, and are dedicated to providing opportunities which challenge, inspire and entertain!

Of the utmost importance to us is our commitment to diversity and inclusivity: everyone is welcome in Drama Soc.

So don’t hesitate to get in touch with us! We cannot wait to welcome you all very soon; stay up to date with what we are up to by following our social media accounts and keep an eye out for our exciting opportunities.
