Live Music and Theatre

The JCR and College have invested heavily in transforming Platform 2 in Stephenson Central into a space fit for a wide variety of performing arts. As a result of this, we have a prominent 4x6 metre stage, and a complete set of high quality speakers all of which enable us to put on some spectacular performances and shows.

live Music

We have some spectacular musical talent at Stephenson College, and the JCR is all about championing that, and giving our students a chance to perform at our events, whether that’s a twenty-person choir, a rock band, a duo or soloist! Events are frequently organised by Stephenson Music Society.

Theatre

We are very lucky to have our very own group of thespians here at Stevo, the Rocket! Theatre Company. In Epiphany term 2022 they transformed Platform 2 into a venue for some true dramatic talent, putting on a performance of Anton Chekhov’s ‘The Seagull’. This performance was very well received by our students as a full house gathered to watch. Follow them @rocket.theatre!

Stephenson students can also join the Butler Musical Society, a joint Musical Theatre Company for Stephenson and Josephine Butler students. Last year, they transformed the Howlands building by constructing a stage, upon which they performed Firebringer by StarKid Productions across a week.
