Frank Penter, Conferences, Development and Student Shows Coordinator at The Bloomsbury, said: "This season we are hosting an amazingly broad programme of events which highlights the diversity and talent at 果冻影院. Already, we have seen the 果冻影院 Union Jewish Society's Nargilla Nights and the LGBT Society's version of Cinderella, with a packed season still to come."
