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 managable 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.
Lent 2010 Shows
Come along to the Queen's Building, in Emmanuel College, at 2.30pm, for a double bill of all-singing, all-dancing, all-new writing, in the Society's trademark style of pantomimic silliness, transparent innuendo and eminent hecklability:
- "A Million Flowers", a pantomime of Arabian proportions featuring Swiss princes, cunning wordplay, and six-legged camels
- "A Recipe for Disaster", a farce set in an apartment block where everyone seems to be mad, baking, or both
All proceeds from CULES events go to charity - suggested donation is £4 for student spectators and £5 for Real World types with Jobs 'n' Stuff. You can't say fairer than that for approx. 2hrs 30mins of top quality original comedy!
