Where AUBG Tells Its Stories.
A student-run theatre club at the American University in Bulgaria, working across five departments — from casting and directing to build, promotion and logistics.
Why The Lab Exists.
AUBG Theatre Lab is a student theatre club at the American University in Bulgaria. It exists so that students who want to make theatre have somewhere to do it — a rehearsal room, a build crew, a budget, and an audience.
Every production is cast, directed, designed, promoted and scheduled by students, and every department takes people with no prior experience.

Frequently asked
Pick a department and a time slot at the Club Fair booth or through the Book page. Interviews run the week after the fair, about 15 minutes each, and cover why you're interested and what you've made or want to make.
No. Every department takes people with no prior theatre experience. Cast interviews may ask you to read a short scene; other departments may ask about what you've made, not what you've studied.
Yes, though most members start in one department for their first production and add a second once they know the workload. Mention both interests at your interview, and we'll plan around it.
Rehearsals run twice a week through the semester, plus a tech week before opening. Production departments — Stage, Marketing, Logistics — work in shorter bursts tied to deadlines rather than a fixed weekly schedule.
Sponsorships fund the production itself: venue costs, set materials, costumes, and printing. Every sponsor gets a breakdown of where their contribution went once the run closes.
