Hello!
Thank you for visiting Bath Spa Musical Theatre Society's crowdfunding page for 2019! This academic year we are working towards our production of "Spring Awakening". Set in late 19th-century Germany, the musical tells the story of teenagers discovering the inner and outer tumult of teenage sexuality.
We are a hardworking society and rely on self-funding in order to accomplish our goal of producing a full scale, professional production at the end of the year. Though we complete the majority of fundraising ourselves, in order to afford licensing, costumes, the costs of theatre etc. we are creating this page to help raise an extra £500 which is needed to make "Spring Awakening" happen!
Who are we?
We are Bath Spa Musical Theatre Society, a student led society, in our sixth year. We are a fairly large society of about 60 members and attract students from different courses and different year groups, ranging from freshers to masters students. We began rehearsals at the beginning of October, after auditions and are progressing to more intensive rehearsals. We rehearse at Bath Spa University every Wednesday evening and Sundays, some of which in the past have lasted about 12 hours. Our members put so much time and energy into putting on a well polished performance, that we would like to match this in our costumes and set which will make this a professional production.
In previous years, we have performed "Fame", "Footloose" and "Made in Dagenham" which have been successful productions. We want to make sure that this success continues and that our society continues to have a professional name.
Why we do what we do
Our society is an active and close knit group of students, all of whom enjoy being a part of the society. For several members it allows them to do something which they would not be offered as part of their course; by being given the opportunity to act, sing and dance. BSMTS also is essential in helping students build confidence, as they are given the opportunity to perform on stage. We regularly organise showcases at our Students Union which have a different theme and these allow every member the opportunity to perform on the SU stage, this encourages students who have not sung in front of anyone before, the confidence to get on stage and perform.
We all love being a part of Bath Spa Musical Theatre Society because of the friendships that are made from it, as well as being able to share a love of Musical Theatre!
Where will the money go?
We are already fundraising the majority of the money for "Spring Awakening". So far we have already organised bake sales, bag packing at Waitrose, organised several showcases at the SU, busking sessions in town and even taking part in the Bath Half Marathon. We are hoping that this page will help us raise £500 and with this money, as well as what we have raised and are going to raise, you will be able to see below what the money will be spent on....
