Bath's theatre society/family. We run fun weekly informal workshops, put on many performances throughout the year (including at Bath Fringe Festival), and have plenty of funky socials.

Welcome to BUST! We are a family of actors, directors, playwrights, producers, and students putting on performances throughout the year, running fun weekly informal workshops, and having a blast at weekly socials.
