Welcome to the CULES Website!
We are a student run-group who aim to bring theatre to those who would normally not get the chance to see it, taking performances to such places as special needs schools and nursing homes. Our second, but equally important, aim is to have fun! We generally perform a play and a pantomime in both Michaelmas and Lent. In Easter we perform four short plays around a theme (designed to be manageable and fun for after exams!). All of these are written, directed and produced by enthusiastic members of the society.
Getting involved couldn't be simpler -- just come along to our friendly open auditions at the beginning of each term, details of which will be posted here and on our e-mail list. Even if you've never done anything like this before, we'd still like to see you! We will have many parts with varying levels of commitment available, so if you don't want to take on too much, or if you want to steal the show, just let us know.
To get in touch with us, please send an e-mail to lightentertainment@cusu.cam.ac.uk.
Michaelmas Term 2011
You are cordially invited to the CULES shows for this term:
Macbeth: He Meant Well - You shouldn't judge a book by its cover. You shouldn't judge a protagonist by their book...
Babes in the Wood - An epic tale of beautiful maidens, dashing heroes, and drunken clergy. When the evil Sheriff of Nottingham decides to murder his young nephew and niece all that stands in his way is Robin Hood and his dashing band of lovable rogues. Will the children be saved? Will the Sheriff win the day? Will the cast actually learn their lines? Watch and find out!
They are taking place on Friday the 2nd of December at 7pm, in the Buckingham House Lecture Theatre in Murray Edwards College (directions below). Tickets are a suggested donation of £4 for students/concessions and £5 for non-students, with proceeds going to charity. The Facebook event is here for those such inclined.
Hope to see you there!
Directions to Buckingham House: Walk up the hill towards the front entrance to Murray Edwards. Opposite the front entrance (next to the Huntingdon Road doctors' surgery) is a modern building called Buckingham House. Go inside and follow the directions to the lecture theatre!
