Excitement as SODA
opens for the weekend
Bangor University Society of Drama and Acting (SODA) are opening
their show, “Another Opening, Another Show”, this weekend.
“It’s been a long and difficult process” says backstage
manager Amy Partridge. “Many of the crew have been more stressed than usual and
the actors are all in bits with nerves and excitement.
We’re glad we’re finally opening the show though, the past
few weeks have been really stressful on us all trying to get everything
together in time for dress rehearsals as well as coping with university work, I’ve
just finished my third year so I’m now available almost 24/7 to help out”
SODA have a rich heritage at Bangor University, putting on a
show per semester with their vast number of members. Musicals, Shakespeare,
expressive dance, everything goes in SODA as long as it can be placed on a
stage.
“I just wish it had been advertised better. We put links up
on Facebook and such, luckily our shows are pretty popular so people talk to
each other and word gets round” Amy says.
Starting Sunday 17th May, SODA takes to the stage
with their show, “Another Opening, Another Show”, tickets are £4 for students.
“I think making the tickets that price was the best idea, we
could have offered them cheaper but we need money for props and materials for
production. In a regular theatre you’re looking at around £8 to go and see
strangers in panto and such, but it’s only £4 to come and see your friends on
stage!”
This reporter will in fact be in attendance, and will update
this story following the show.
“It’s all led to Sunday, fingers crossed we get a good
turnout and have a really good time!” Amy closes with a laugh.
