How Does Oxford Student Theatre Work?

Student theatre, performance and comedy happens within a very decentralised system across the university. No one society or group programmes each term’s shows - join in with what is already happening, or set up your own project!

Theatre productions are facilitated and supported by Oxford University Dramatic Society (OUDS) and Oxford University Technical Theatre Society (OUTTS). Many colleges in the university have their own drama societies too!

For comedy, there are a few different societies and groups who perform sketch, stand-up and improv comedy.

You’ll also find many student societies beyond this too - from the Gilbert and Sullivan Society, light entertainment and panto from OULES or individual college groups.
