OUTTS Committee 2024/25

I'm Tilly, a fourth year Classicist at St Anne's. I've been involved with OUTTS since I was in first year, and it has provided me with such a friendly and supportive space to learn new tech skills and create theatre with really talented people, so I'm looking forward to being more involved with the committee this year. Please reach out if you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions - I'm always happy to chat.

Hey I’m Mario, a DPhil maths student from Brasenose. I love comedies and musicals and I’ve been involved in quite a few during my time in oxford. I’m really excited to join the committee and work with all of these amazing people :))

Heya! Cayden here, a second year English student at St Hugh's. I'm new to the tech scene, so I'm excited to learn from and work alongside all the lovely, incredible committee members. Please always feel free to reach out to me for help, feedback, or just a chat!

Hello!! My name's Ted, and I'm this year's OUTTS Training and Fresher's Rep. Over the last couple years I've dipped my toes into almost every side of tech, from lighting to stage management and can now conclusively say that I am pretty okay at quite a few things. I've worked all over Oxford with a whole host of lovely people, appearing and helping where I can. I am also the top fan of the O'Reilly scaffold tower. Having spent a good while on the learning side, I'm now very excited to be able to share that knowledge with other students who are interested in OUTTS through workshops and training shows.

I'm a second year studying for a DPhil in Mathematics at St Hugh's. I've been involved in technical theatre since I was in school, and I've worked on productions in both technical and design roles ever since, both in Oxford and as a member of DU Players as an undergraduate. A formative memory as a lighting technician was of trying to figure out how to operate a Mac 2k profile that had been hired for a school production — I caught the bug, and I've been reading manuals and making lights turn on ever since! I've really enjoyed the range of equipment and venues I've had access to through student theatre in Oxford, and I'm looking forward to help maintain and facilitate this access as a member of the OUTTS committee.

Lucy is a second year at Pembroke reading English. She enjoys all theatre, but especially comedy and is excited to be involved in more student shows and planning parties and networking opportunities for all those interested in OUTTS.

I'm a second year at St Hugh's studying English! I'm very new to theatre, so I'm just learning and absorbing like a sponge (with sieve memory) from all these cool experienced people I'm meeting. Very much looking forward to getting involved in more productions as a crew member over the next two years! Feel free to contact me if you ever have questions or concerns about welfare relating to theatre :)

Finley: I’m studying Medicine at Brasenose College, though sometimes I seem to be doing far more theatre than degree! I first got involved in theatre back in school, mainly doing sound and lighting design, and since then I’ve been hooked. Since coming to Oxford, OUTTS has been a really big part of my time at uni, literally since Freshers’ Week. Since being here, I’ve mainly been doing lighting, but occasionally dabble in sound and other aspects too. I find the student theatre vibes here really lovely and fun, as well as being really rewarding so I’m excited to get more people (Freshers and everyone else too!!) involved over the next year. I was so lucky to quickly get to know (and learn tonnes from) so many OUTTS members which has been awesome, and I really look forward to this continuing. JT: Hi, I'm Jonathan, working on a DPhil in CS at Keble. I've been doing tech in various forms for well over a decade including lights, sound, projection, and live broadcast. I love little more than trying an ambitious idea on a shoestring budget, and always happy to help when things are going wrong.

Felix has spent many years writing and directing shows in Oxford and beyond. He has recently moved more into the technical side as well and is delighted to be on the OUTTs committee.

Eliana is a third-year undergraduate at Exeter College reading Engineering Science. Within Oxford, Eliana originated the role of Greta/Colleague in Dead Man’s Suitcase (BT, MT22 and Fringe, 2023), and was an Ensemble member in Guys and Dolls (Pembroke, HT23) and Wings (JDP, TT23). She has produced three shows in Oxford – The Mandrake (Exeter, TT23), Dial M for Murder (BT, MT23), and Blackadder (Pilch, HT23). Other crew roles include Set Design in Sisyphus House (BT, TT23), ASM in An American in Paris (OP, HT23), Assistant Director in Punk (BT, HT23), Co-Director in An Enemy of the People (O’Reilly, MT23), and Production Manager in The Cherry Orchard (OP, HT23). She is very excited to be a part of the OUTTS committee.
