Showstoppers are the musical theatre society at stagesoc works with. They typically do 5-6 shows in the Annex each year, which are detailed later in this guide. This guide also contains other tips and information for working with showstoppers.

Typically in the annex, Showstoppers have 5 show slots

• Fresher's Show - Last week of autumn term - This show slot has the cast entirely consisting of new members.
• Small Show - Mid February - This show slot has a maximum cast number of 15, and is usually a lower tech slot
• Spring Show - Early-Mid March - Typically showstoppers' biggest show of the year, this show often has extra prep weeks allowing for more elaborate sets & lighting
• Summer Show - First week after Easter break - This show slot typically has it's intensive/prep week within the Easter holidays, and is another lower tech show
• The 24 - Weekend at the end of summer exams - On the last day of exams at 4pm a show is announced. From 5pm to 5pm the next day (with some sleep in there) the cast learn the entire show, and we build the set, setup the band, program the lighting and try to have a tech/dress run - a lot of fun and a great way to finish the year!
