Looking forward to Epiphany 2024!

We have had a wonderful term full of musicals, classics and new student writing! We are looking forward to upcoming Epiphany shows like the largest show of the year DULOG’s “Anything Goes” in the Gala Theatre and the annual Shakespeare by DUCT in Week 10. Keep up to date with upcoming auditions and creative team opportunities in the weekly email or the DST Instagram, @studenttheatre!
