The Light Entertainment Society in Oxford is a non-profit making group dedicated to putting on shows for those who cannot normally travel to the theatre, taking plays to special needs schools, hospitals and retirement homes. We are a small, informal group and aim to encourage first time actors, directors and writers.

Extra cool stuff! Posted by pilly on 23/01/2012
As well as our main show "Piracy!" we'll be doing some other extra cool stuff too!

We'll be doing some workshops for schools that'll probably focus on improv games and stuff. We'll need a few people who'll be confident with teaching games to kids and preferably at least a couple who've done some sort of work with kids before.

We're going to put together a variety show with sketches/songs/possibly a bit of improv and take it busking. We'll need plenty of people to act/sing and ideas or pre-written songs and sketches.

If you're interested in either of the above then E-mail our Homes and Schools Liaison Office, Sasha

Top ©... Ah yes, ©, slightly complicated that. Well. Originally Elizabeth did lots of work and wrote most of the content of the site. Then Helen did some more, and Rory did some more after that, so the content could have been written by any of the three of them, or maybe by me. Where me is pilly, obviously. Anyway, one thing I am sure of is that the page images (on the left) and the big header image and the general look of the thing were all done by Beth Rowell, in 2008. The coding that makes it all work in the background was done by pilly in 2009.

The site is coded, maintained and hosted by pilly, contact me if you have any comments or questions about it, or if you find a broken link.
