Welcome to the official page of the Theatre Arts Society! 🎭
Are you interested in theatre? Do you love watching and learning about theatre? If the answers to these questions are yes, then TAS is for you!
Theatre is at the heart of our society, and we aim to provide all members with opportunities across all theatre disciplines, including:
acting
directing
writing
production
set, prop and costume design
technical and backstage work
...and much more!
TAS is a 17-year gold standard society and one of the largest on campus. We have so many opportunities and activities throughout the year, so regardless of whether you love performing, the technical side of theatre, or simply watching a show, come and find your place among new friends!
Don't study theatre? No problem, many of our members (including some of your exec members!) don't either– there's a place for everyone in TAS!
Fill out our General Welfare Form so that we can keep you safe and healthy throughout the year :)
WHAT WE OFFER OUR MEMBERS:
- three shows per year – our productions are our biggest and proudest staple of TAS. With one production per term, you can audition to be in the cast or apply for backstage and crew work.
- weekly workshops – come and learn some new and fun acting skills and techniques, or enjoy lots of games.
- frequent socials – we aim to put on 2-3 socials every month, drinking and non-drinking. We also host a TAS Teams every term, our biggest social of the term, where we put you in random groups and you complete fun tasks – and there’s always a dress-up theme! We are also testing a new social called TAS Tries, where we collaborate with other societies to learn about them! If you are a society that might be interested, please get in touch.
- trips off campus – we go to see shows at local theatres and other socials
- a Christmas meal - get into the spirit and relax
- a playwriting competition – Re-Write is our annual playwriting competition. Five original short plays all in one night! What more could you want? The winner of the competition gets to turn their script into a full-length play and perform it the next year.
- Tassies – our awards evening at the end of the year, celebrating all we have achieved in the year! Including awards for Best Lead, Best Supporting, Best Show, the President’s Award, and more. Everyone gets an award!
