The University of Canterbury Drama Society Incorporated
We're a student society, that doubles as a theatre company, with almost 100 years of experience running shows, festivals, and general hi-jinks. We aim to produce quality shows, promote a safe space to give theatre a go, and support drama and performing arts in the wider Christchurch community.
Whether you're a theatre veteran who could learn a script with your eyes closed, or a brand new, bushy-tailed performer who wants to give it a go, this is the event for you.
DramaSoc's very own play competition that gives you 24 hours to write, workshop, learn and perfect an original piece of theatre before putting it on stage is back! Whether you're a theatre veteran who could learn a script with your eyes closed, or a brand new, bushy-tailed performer who wants to give it a go, this is the event for you.
Like the V 48-Hour Film Festival... but without the V sponsorship (yet!) and with half the time, it's A Day To Play! The perfect mix of low and high pressure theatre for students of any capability.
Steady nerves, minor insomnia, and a lack of dignity. Sound like fun? You’ve come to the right place.
It's kinda like the 48hour film fest only half the length and way more unpredictable. And FUNpredictable (we're sorry, we had to. It IS going to be a lot of fun)...
Much like the 48hour film fest only half the length and way more unpredictable, A Day to Play is back to kick off UC Arts Week.
