Queen Mary Theatre Company is a platform for students from any subject with an interest in the performing arts. Experiment and develop your creative skills in an encouraging and collaborative environment. Whether your interest lies in acting, directing, writing, costume & makeup, administration, production, tech, or simply being a spectator, QMTC offers an avenue for you to get involved, make new friends, develop your craft and, above all, have fun!
QMTC puts on upwards of 15 shows a year in a range of festivals that you can get involved in! In the summer we take four shows to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
We also host regular socials, movie nights, and our monthly variety night Slappin' Da Bass where our members can sign up and perform whatever their heart desires.
Keep an eye out on our social media for more updates!

What to look forward to in Semester 2:
Louder! This is a theatre festival aiming to highlight the contributions of global majority creatives to our theatre space. If you're from a global majority or POC background, this is the theatre festival where we make your voice Louder! with extra advertising and promotion for your plays. More details to come...
Edinburgh Fringe: Queen Mary Theatre Company has been attending the festival fringe for longer than any of us remember (apparently it could be 30 years!). We invite you to carry on this tradition with us, as we continue to bring new, varied student theatre to Scotland, and have a lot of fun doing so.

Programme:
You Don't Know Me - Wanjiku Wanyeki
Self-conscious? Stressed out? Constantly hearing two aggravating yappers ranting in your head? You’ll click with June, who inspite of her many attempts to live a normal life cannot escape her inner voices and their incessant arguments.
20/20 - Cassie Choi
"Take me stargazing, Eurydice?"
What if the Orpheus of myth took a different deal? What if it all turned a bit differently, someone who could not bear to see their love pass on, in the process triggering something perhaps even more tragic than anyone could imagine.

RELAXED PERFORMANCES. These are new to QMTC this year. Lighting will be bright enough in the audience to easily find your way out of the Pinter, with 100% step-free seating. A short notice at the start of the performance will notify all audience members that they are in a relaxed performance and may expect fellow audience members to need to move around.
A member of the organising team will be inside the theatre and outside in case assistance is required.
We are not formally trained on providing such performances, so please reach out to us before attending with any concerns, requests, or questions via theatrecompany@qmsu.org
We hope to see you there!
