About
Student Theatre At Glasgow (STAG) is the oldest and largest student theatre society in Glasgow.
STAG strives to provide a variety of theatre-based opportunities to students at the University of Glasgow as well as students from other institutions across the city. We aim to give all of our members the opportunity to develop new and existing skills in all aspects of theatre production.
If you would like to get involved in STAG in any capacity, then please sign-up to our weekly newsletter to stay up to date on all of our current opportunities. You can also find out about our current activities on our Facebook Page or Group. Only once you are involved in a production are you required to pay an annual STAG Membership fee.
History
The Society has a complicated history and we have existed in several iterations over the years.
We date back to at least 1922 when the Glasgow University Dramatic Club performed Antigone. We went through various name changes including Glasgow University Dramatic Society, Glasgow University Student Theatre Group and Glasgow University Theatre before becoming STAG in 1994. STAG first broke out of Glasgow in 1957 with our first performance at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival; a tradition that has continued and we have recently sold out two shows; 2017’s ‘God Ltd.’ and 2018’s ‘Ah Dinnae Ken’. We also broadened our horizons in 2018 by hosting the 7th Annual Inter-University Drama Festival where we gathered with members of Student Theatre Societies from 10 different Universities across the UK to perform, participate in workshops and a Ceilidh.
We’re still trying to put together a complete history of the society so if you are one of our STAG Alumni then get in touch at: secretary@studenttheatreatglasgow.com
The Board
The direction and interests of STAG are maintained and upheld by the STAG board, which is elected annually by the membership at the end of the academic year (with the exception of the two First Year Ordinary Board Members who are elected in October of Semester 1). The board consists of sixteen different positions and hold weekly meetings. The board operates under the guidance of our constitution which can be viewed on the Information and Packs Tab.
Facilities
STAG has its own room on the University of Glasgow campus which is used as a space for socials, fundraisers, board meetings, auditions, workshops, rehearsals, performances and more.
We often perform in off-campus venues, organised by our Venues Managers.
