Hey everyone, happy Week 13. The last week of EUTC programming is upon us, and what a year it’s been! No time to look back now though, as we’ve got one last week. Our last GM of the year is on Tuesday from noon, so drop by to vote on shows and festivals for first semester next year, as well as the Business Manager role. On Tuesday night, Bedlam will host an immersive Murder Mystery in support of our September production of the Rocky Horror Show. Attendees will be encouraged to interact, investigate, and solve the murder, with prizes awarded for the quickest teams to do so. Tickets are £6. Rounding out our week (and our year) on Friday and Saturday is the incredibly exciting Turin/Bedlam Exchange project, where a group of students all the way from Italy have come to perform their show “Getting Naked For You.” Tickets are just £4 for EUTC Members, and the show is only on for 2 nights, so get your tickets before they go!

Immersive theatre: the only threat more fatal than death

It is a spooky night at Bedlam Theatre, which has been rented out by an eccentric performing troupe ready to do their premiere of their new play, “Transylvanians from Outer Space,” a new indie sci-fi play from the much beloved Dr. Henrietta Von-Scotch. She has moved away from her normal sci-fi novels, to do something different at the request of her dear friend Chad Wagers, a once-beloved director, who has settled for life on the small stage due to overwhelmingly negative reviews over the past several years.
Teaming together, Dr. VonScotch and Wagers reached out to the owner of a small theatre company, Edwina Aday, to have a company house their new show (with the promise that Edwina would be able to play the leading role, “Tina O’Brien”) Edwina immediately agreed, and was surprised by the way that her company was quickly overrun with new people. The only people truly belonging to “Aday and Night Theatre Company” were Edwina and Sylvester.
Attendees will be encouraged to interact, investigate, and solve the murder before the show ends… or before the alien invasion. Whichever comes first.

Three performers share the dream of pursuing artistic careers beyond the limits of their current reality. Yet, in order to survive, they find themselves performing for audiences often far removed from their own aspirations. Night after night, they step onto the stage, shedding not only their clothes but fragments of their identities, caught between the necessity and the desire. Beneath the surface of their performances lies a deeper story: one of resilience, compromise, and the quiet hope that their “moment” is still waiting just around the corner. From hope lost, hidden secrets, and being shut out from the world, the protagonists come face to face with the clichés that haunt their lives, leading them to question what it really means to make it.
Every Sunday 12:00 to 14:00, we do theatre maintenance where we tidy up the building and make improvements. Bedlam runs on volunteer help, so you will be asked to attend one of these sessions if you have worked on a show in the theatre. Similarly, you will be required to help staff a show (or two if you did a mainterm) in exchange for the members who helped staff your show. You can log into your account on the Bedlam website to see if you have maintenance or staffing debt and sign up for a session to fulfill that. There are instructions on the website and people to help you in the building, so don’t worry if you’re new to any of the tasks! You can clear maintenance debt by coming to a Maintenance Session or emailing our Theatre Managers at [email protected]. Likewise, you can contact our Front of House Managers at [email protected] if you have any questions about staffing. You can sign up for your staffing slot here. Thanks for the help!
