The Backstage Club will take place during Gradfest, our annual festival featuring the work of our undergraduate students and our MFA directors, designers and producers. It's a great night out filled with entertainment, theatre and delicious treats. We start with drinks then a show, then it’s backstage to be immersed in an access-all-areas experience for the night. We will be announcing the shows in the coming weeks - and we look forward to sharing them with you - watch this space!

This unique event is a break from your traditional fundraiser and it's all for an exceptional cause. You will have a great evening and even better, your ticket price will support funding a bursary for Stage Management & Technical Theatre students - the crews of the future who are the backbone of theatre and film productions. Your generosity is vital for our students and ensures that we can ensure wider access to arts education for the young creatives of the future. #TheLirIsForEveryone

Thank you for your support. We can't wait to see you there on the night!
