BATSQueens' College Amateur Dramatics Society

BATS is the Amateur Dramatics Society of Queens' College, Cambridge that has been entertaining audiences for over 80 years. It offers a diverse range of productions, from classic plays to contemporary works, and is run entirely by students, creating a supportive and collaborative environment for everyone involved.

We are fortunate to have the use of one of the best performance spaces in Cambridge: the Fitzpatrick Hall. This is a modern, well-equipped venue with a capacity of 208, and options for smaller performances as well. Our renowned May Week Show takes place around Queens' College, ensconced between some of the oldest buildings on the Cam.

If you're interested in getting involved with BATS, there are regular auditions and workshops, providing opportunities for actors and those interested in behind-the-scenes roles.
