All semester - various performances - Northern Stage
If you’re yet to see a performance at campus’ Northern Stage, there is something for everyone over the next few months: from poetry in performance to comedic plays, celebrations of the Beatles’ music to a pub quiz. Students can get concession tickets with their NUSU card and discount at the Café Bar (which serves amazing food and drink), so if you need an evening of distraction, take a look at what’s on and see local talent shine.
All semester - various events - Give It A Go
