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.

Curtain Call (16th and 17th april)
A showcase night of musical scenes for all the MT kids craving a cheeky lil performance of their fav songs without the commitment of a whole show ;) https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScGY3BKCG9NoqpnSxGcllVBu4gdWNXuLAIMHxfooFYyRdgefQ/viewform
In preparation for Fringe, pitch night for the 4 shows we will be taking up to Edinburg this year will be on the 25th of March. Fringe is such a lovely opportunity to be surrounded by artists and creative for two weeks in the biggest theatre festival in the world. But remember you will need to be involved in QMTC (through events, performances, membership etc) to pitch a show so don’t be a stranger while the semester goes by, come support the company!
Other opportunities
Running a workshop
Interested in hosting a workshop for a specific area in the vast world of theatre? Just fill in our running a workshop interest form and we'll be in contact!
Play in a day
If you've got the outline of a script or the first draft and you're looking to test it out and get feedback on what could be changed, Play in a day is the event for you. Fill in the form, we will find you a cast and you will have a day to reherse (blocking, use of the stage and set, etc) before performing (with the script) for an audience to get a gist of how your writing harmonises with bodies onstage. Honestly the most time efficient way to see people's acting abilities if you're looking to put on a prepared play at a festival like Anything Goes.
