Production Companies
Most students put on theatre productions in the University through a production company. A production company comprises a director and a producer who set up a bank account to run the finances of a production. It is the easiest way to bid for a venue and apply for funding.
Each production company needs to register with OUDS and OUTTS. This keeps track of who are putting on shows and where funds are kept across student theatre. Only registered production companies will appear in this list - to add your production company please contact the University Drama Officer.
