Welcome to Keele Drama Society (KDS)!

 We love actors, writers, tech people, costume makers, directors, stagehands, makeup artists, and many more; you all have a home in KDS!
 

Keele Drama society stages FOUR productions a year, consisting of:

• A published or student written play in Semester 1
• A 24-hour long 'Play-In-A-Day' marathon in early Semester 2
• A charity 'One-Acts' production in Semester 2, featuring several small student written plays.
• A Shakespeare play in the summer of Semester 2

Both plays and the One-acts are chosen through a bidding and voting process open to all members. 

We also hold Socials ranging from costume events, music-themed evenings, open mic nights, pub quizzes, game shows, neon parties and many, many more, so keep an eye out on our social media. These are open to all and are completely FREE! Come and say Hi and have a silly laugh with great people!

In addition, we have Workshops led by professionals or experienced members; we explore many different types of theatre through fun games and challenging activities. These are open to all abilities and are completely FREE. Workshops are a great way to introduce yourself to the society! We also hold workshops on other areas, such as costuming and sound and lighting tech, if you would like to help more backstage!
 
We are one of the busiest societies at Keele and are proud of our long history of over 70+ years of putting on theatre for the whole community. A friendly and outgoing society, we hold many fun and varied socials each year to which all members are invited to join in, make friends and ultimately make the most of their KDS experience. We are open to all abilities and hope to grow people's confidence and make your Keele Life the best it can be.
