Curtain Call Collaborative

Curtain Call Collaborative (CCC) is a theatre production society founded at St Edmund's College, University of Cambridge, in June 2023. Established with the inaugural Pride & Prejudice (Taylor’s Version) May Week Play in the St Edmund’s College Orchard, CCC was created to offer high-quality theatre that is accessible, collaborative, and community-minded.

Since its founding, CCC has produced an annual free-entry May Week Play in the St Edmund’s Orchard, including An Ideal Husband (2024) and Checchina’s Virtue (2025). In June 2025, CCC also co-funded an independent production of Pride and Prejudice at the ADC Theatre.

The society operates on a philanthropic model rather than a profit-driven one. Central to CCC’s mission is supporting emerging creatives, encouraging student-written work and providing resources, infrastructure, and guidance for writers, directors, and actors. All profits made from ticketed shows are used to set up grants and scholarships for students seeking funding for out-of-term creative projects, such as the Edinburgh and Camden Fringe.

The society also runs acting and performance workshops for students from any college.
