runs of shows such as Jonathan Larson's RENT, Little Shop of Horrors and a successful production of Our House, based on the music of Madness. The society's mission today is still to give opportunities to all student and associate members to participate in producing musical theatre. Past members of Curtain Call are now working professionally in the West End and regionally, most notably the society's founding president Alan Mehdizadeh who made his West End debut in Billy Elliot the Musical at The Victoria Palace Theatre, London in 2013, and in 2016 took over the role of Don in Kinky Boots the Musical,(also on London's West End). Other former members have since gone on to work at venues such as The Royal Albert Hall, The Royal Opera house and in film and television. In May 2014 Curtain Call became the first ever university society to perform in the main house of Aberystwyth Arts Centre with their production of Fame which also featured the brief return of Mehdizadeh to the society. Exploding Fish are the only improvisation and devising society in Aberystwyth. Holding weekly workshops and bi-weekly performances, they are devoted to creating a fun, friendly environment in which everyone can understand improvisation better and improve on life skills such as confidence and quick thinking. They also regularly perform full length devised productions at the Arad Goch. Student Media The Courier is a student newspaper voluntarily run by students of Aberystwyth University. Established in 1948, it has undergone many changes in style and format since then, and for most of the early Noughties was a magazine. Following a year of not printing the magazine due to financial reasons, it was relaunched as a tabloid by a new committee in the academic year 2011/12. The Courier has complete editorial independence from both the Students' Union and the University, and printing is funded exclusively by advertising. The Students' Union Building contains a radio studio, used to broadcast the student digital "Bay Radio" station, with live shows and presenters during the daytime. At the beginning of the 2012 academic year, the three existing student media operations (The Courier, Bay Radio and Aber TV, now Bay TV) merged to form Aberystwyth Student Media, which is to produce integrated media content across all three, along with Online. Yr Heriwr (The Challenger) was also established as a separate Welsh-language student paper. As mentioned in the above Theatre Societies,
