About.The award winning Performing Arts Society (PARTS for short!) has been part of the Student Union at Bournemouth University for over 16 years. The society provides the chance for students from all courses from both Bournemouth University & Arts University Bournemouth to come together and share their common passion for Musical Theatre.

Our History and our GoalOver the years, PARTS has staged many successful musicals, such as "Rent", "Footloose", "Beauty and the Beast" and "Grease" when the society performed on Bournemouth University's campus. Since then, PARTS has come a long way and we have now performed our last two shows in a professional theatre. Last year's production of "American Idiot" had the biggest cast in the history of PARTS and had four sell-out nights at the Shelley theatre in Boscombe. PARTS is known as a family, and this is shown by countless members who have now graduated University returning to perform in our showcases and support our main production each year. Along with being a 5* society two years running, we also won the Student Union's "Event of the Year" in 2014 and 2017, and were runners up at the National Society Awards for "Best Student-Led Event" in 2016.
Our goal for the next few years of PARTS is for the society to continue growing, both in member numbers and in the scale of our musical productions. However, we also want PARTS to continue being the strong family that it is and making the uni experience for its members absolutely unforgettable. |
The success of OUR HOUSEThis year PARTS brought "Our House", the Madness Musical, to life on stage at the Shelley theatre!
We set ourselves a challenge by putting on 6 shows throughout the week, and amazingly we sold out 4 of the performances! This meant the cast performed to over 750 people in total throughout the week, helping our society make a real name for itself in the local community as word spread about our production. "Our House" was a huge success and all our cast and crew were very sad to say goodbye to a great show! |
