EUTC news
The first semester is split into two chunks, with a "reading week"
between, during which EUTC staged the first mainterm of the academic
year - "The Laramie Project". Attendences were good, and production
quality was high, possibly because those involved didn't have lectures
and were able to spend *all* their time in the theatre...                                                     
In "Bedlam: It never changes" news: mass arguments about the cast
of Improverts and how often they staff other shows (or not), plus how
many comp's are handed out at their shows on Friday night.

EUTC now has a Mac for formatting their own publicity, plus an internet
connection allowing wireless access from laptops in the Cafe. This also
means the techies can search for and download music during Improverts
sketches thus giving an even more real-time feel to the show.
