Since 1969, the only completely student-run theatre in the country brings up to 15 shows a semester and provides a platform for generations of talented performers, directors, make-up artists, lighting technicians, and much more.
In more recent times, New Theatre productions have impressed the judges at the National Student Drama Festival and received critical acclaim at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival as well as entertaining students at University Park Campus.
