If you want to know more about what each role does, click each title below or go to the EUTC Wiki here.
The 2026/7 EUTC Committee are as follows.
President — Kai Smolin 🌌 (he/him, 3rd Year Mechanical Engineering)
blah blah blah.
Fact: Kai’s room when growing up had multiple walls of terrariums with reptiles in them.
Vice President — Elise Chan Xitong ☕ (she/they, 3rd Year Ecological & Environmental Science)
Elise is the second president to hail from Singapore and in true Singaporean fashion, the first question she asked Sophie Lee when she met her was “What school did you go to?”. Elise enjoys doing all aspects of theater (other than the bit where you go on stage) but most of all she finds it really freaking cool that she helps to run an old gothic church-turned-theatre. She promised to attend (almost) every maintenance session in her speech, so hold her to it and bring snacks if you stop by to say hi!
Fact: Elise’s Bedlam beanie is a hiking essential - it has conquered the West Highland Way, several munros and an Indonesian volcano.
Secretary - Isla Duffy 🥔 (she/her, 2nd Year Sustainable Development)
Isla likes spreadsheets, colour coding her calendar and microsoft forms. So, with much persuasion from Ava Ausman, she has become the secretary!
Fact: Isla won an award at theatre ball for forgetting to die onstage. As a cow..
Business Manager - Maysan Abdidayim 🦚 (she/her, 4th Year Law LLB)
Speaker of six languages Maysan often forgets a word in all of them. She is known for her loud voice and random pop culture references which she defines as being a part of her charm. After spending a year arguing with EUSA as theatre manager she is excited to argue with another EUSA department (lord help them all).
Fact: Maysan’s first pet was a bird that committed suicide by walking off a ledge and forgetting to fly. The funeral was sad but the rice was great.
Productions Manager — Lou Limpenny 🦞 (he/they, 3rd Year Sociology)
Lou is your 2026-27 prod manager for EUTC bedlam theatre! He loves shitty retro B-list horror, dungeons and dragons, frying his hair, hammock time and every form of arts and crafts you could imagine. Lou has made their name at Bedlam for forever getting cast as the creepy evil fucker, and occasionally building set. He is both face blind and has terrible short term memory so please don’t be offended if he forgets your name or your face or both, their main goal as prod manager is to make sure everyone feels confident making cool shit, so don’t be afraid to get in touch!
Fact: Lou was the kid in primary school who told creepy stories that made kids cry. They asked his parents if he had experienced grief in reception bc he said the ghost of their dead sister lived in our attic. They didn’t have an attic or a sister.
Co-Theatre Manager — Non Steel 🦦 (they/them, 3rd Year English Literature)
Non decided that they needed to be further integrated into bedlam this year and ran for theatre manager, they can’t wait to get more into bedlam and teach more people how to fill out of beautiful risk assessment and making sure the building doesn’t crumble. You can usually find Non in bedlam at random times, talk to people for far too long, building something or crocheting just about anywhere! Please talk to them about stage managing, they have many opinions and can sometimes be useful.
Fact: Non wanted to be a vet as a child before watching a dissection in secondary school and fainting. Non has since reconsidered their career choices.
Co-Theatre Manager — Ved Sanyal ❌
blah blah blah.
Fact: blah blah blah.
Co-Front of House Manager — Audrey Nicholls ✨ (she/her, 2nd year French and Classics)
Audrey is from London and while acting has never been her cup of tea, she has been backstage and tech obsessed since the age of 14! She can’t remember exactly the last time her degree was the main focus and in fact very often finds herself wondering if maybe Bedlam is her degree and French is merely a (graded) side-quest. She is so excited to spend another year in this gorgeous building doing her favourite thing with her favourite people!
Fact: Audrey shaved her eyebrows for scav hunt last year and depressingly (or perhaps luckily?) nobody even noticed due to her overwhelming lack of eyebrow even on a good day!
Co-Front of House Manager — Ava Tumblety ⭐ (she/her, 3rd Year Fine Art)
blah blah blah.
Fact: Ava is surprisingly good at drawing minions from memory.
Tech Manager — Luke Hardwick 😶🌫️ (he/him, 3rd Year Mathematics)
Luke has been around the block. He’s gone from resident halfbaker, to panto cameo’er, to being the business manager for 2 years and now he’s crashed out and chilling doing tech. You might see a grey hair, he’s not grouchy yet though.
Fact: Luke has been on committee for 3 years, he’s tired. Talk to him about tech if you can.
Set Manager — Ava Ausman 🍁 (she/her, 3rd Year Psychology)
Ava is from the states, but she usually just says San Francisco cause she’s hoping that one day California will succeed from the rest of America. As set manager she is hoping to bring more people into set. If you can’t find her for long extended periods of time she is most likely yapping at the premier down the road.
Fact: In middle school Ava actually got kicked out of shop class for being really bad with handsaws, unfortunately for Mr. S., someone has let her back into the tool space where she has access to all the saws she’ll ever need.
Co-Wardrobe Manager — Elspeth Frith 🧚♀️(she/her, 3rd year Linguistics and Social Anthropology)
Elsie is from Newcastle Upon Tyne, but probably won’t sound like it until she’s had a couple glasses of wine. She was a Bedlam Fresher in second year and quickly decided to let it take over her life to make up for the lost year. As an avid clothes collector, she’s excited to organise a wardrobe that isn’t her own for once, and is so excited to co-manage with Orla! If you need to find her, just follow the sound of the café piano as she is probably playing it far too loudly.
Fact: Elsie can pogo-stick for an impressively long amount of time without falling.
Co-Wardrobe Manager — Orla Smith ❌
blah blah blah.
Fact: blah blah blah.
Co-Social Events Manager — Ruth Duncan 🏕 (she/they, 2nd Year Human Geography)
Ruth hails from the west coast of scotland (aka Prestwick, like the airport) and does all things scouting, like risk assessments, and now cant escape them as a stage manager…
Doing socials just means she can use her birthday party planning skills on a whole new level, and ran for committee so she didnt have to wait for someone to open the door
Fact: Ruth is a qualified kayak, paddleboard, and canoe instructor despite almost being dragged into the north sea after capsizing a canoe…
Co-Social Events Manager — Beth Everett 🦔 (they/she, 2nd Year French and Spanish)
Beth is from Glasgow, but doesn’t sound like it. She loves food, crafts and staying up ridiculously late, and will cut and dye anyone’s hair as long as they’re not attached to it looking perfect. They have decided to put their stage managerial skills to good use, and plan all the Bedlam parties this year! Beth can often be found warming up in tech box or running madly round the building with props and lx tape, come up and say hi!
Fact: When they were 7, Beth spent a week playing with baby Lions (“they bit me and I cried”).
Marketing Manager — May Kusnirova 🦭 (she/her, 2nd Year Business with Marketing)
May is from Slovakia and is unhealthily obsessed with social media. She’s managed Instagram accounts, runs on editing apps, and can make a decent thirst trap entirely on her phone. May also claims to have a posh accent, but apparently she still sounds Eastern European (ugh).
Fact: May is a licensed scuba diver (mermaid)🧜🏻♀️ and she used to be a falconer 🦉.
