The STA provides technical support for shows that take place in the SU. We are the people behind the curtain of Bristol's performing arts, and our members design, construct and run productions throughout the year for societies such as MTB, Spotlights, Dramsoc, BOpS, and PantoSoc. There are opportunities to get involved in multiple departments, including:
Our main venues are the Winston Theatre and the Pegg Theatre, but we also support events in other Bristol locations such as the Anson Rooms and the SU Welcome Fair on the Downs, as well as hiring equipment to other groups. Every active STA member gains many theatre-specific and transferrable skills, and we offer informal training so people of any experience level can get involved.
Sign up to our mailing list to be notified of ways to get involved (training, shows, and more), or follow us on Instagram (@stabristol) if you'd like to find out more about what we're up to. You can also contact our New Members Reps (Alex and Miles) on nmr@bristolsta.com to ask any questions or get more info about joining.
STA membership is free for all members of the SU (students or associate members).
(Note our membership communications are managed based on our mailing list rather than via the SU's system, so please make sure you are signed up on there too if you wish to be involved.)
To find out about joining, DM our instagram account @stabristol or contact our New Members' reps Miles and Alex at nmr@bristolsta.com. For any other enquiries, you can email the committee using committee@bristolsta.com, or visit our website to find out who to contact for specific queries (e.g. if you want to hire something from us, or you want us to crew your show).
