Welcome! Here at the Light Entertainment Society, we have three main aims: (1) be lightly entertaining, (2) perform for those who usually cannot access theatre e.g. those in care homes, (3) raise money for charity. As you might imagine, number 2 is not yet on the table, BUT we have produced two BRAND NEW pieces of silly comedy in aid of our chosen charity for this term: Wintercomfort.
Wintercomfort is a charity that supports those who are homeless or vulnerably housed in Cambridge. Open daily, they provide meals, access to hygiene facilities, housing help, skills training, and counselling to safeguard and empower service users.
Listening is completely free and attendance is "pay what you like", but if you are in a position to donate, any amount would be greatly appreciated!

It was an offer she couldn’t refuse. When a struggling arts graduate Arizona is hired to steal a priceless urn from a world-famous museum, her eccentric boss puts together an unlikely team of thieves: a hyperactive teen, a film geek, and *checks notes* ...a polyamorous car salesman. Welp, one bad decision is not the end of the world... or is it?
With the international authorities on their heels, the crew must go on a quest over ranges and rivers, through sacred temples and airport security, to stop the apocalypse. But with time running out, can these archaeologically-inclined friends really solve the ancient mystery of the great bird-god Kevin? Or will the world as we know it be history…?
