Act One is Cardiff’s largest drama society.
Every year we stage a number of productions ranging in genre and style. Alongside these we provide additional projects and creative opportunities, such as our award-winning night of original writing - Staging a Coup. From performing on-stage to programme design, from sound tech to social nights out, if you enjoy the world of theatre and all it has to offer then Act One is the place to be!
Previously winner of 'Best Large Society' for three years in a row, we have a reputation for our friendly atmosphere, elaborate productions, original socials and the Act One Christmas & Summer Balls! The society also runs workshops and smaller performance opportunities like the 'Open Mic Night'. So if you're looking to challenge yourself and learn new skills, there are plenty of opportunities to do so.
Last year's productions were: Shrek the Pantomime, Twelfth Night, Variety Night: The Best of the West End, RENT and beat. a play on words. We're super excited for another year of great shows, we look forward to seeing you at auditions!
