For production year 2006–2007, GUTS is producing two plays: Lips Together, Teeth Apart by Terrence McNally, directed by Niek Groenewold; and Graham Holliday's The Scottish Play, directed by Cees Krottje and Jeannet van Dalen. The plays will be performed in February and May 2007 respectively.

E.S.C. Drama Society was the original name for the Groningen University Theatre Society from its founding sometime before 1968 until 1978. The new name was settled upon in 1980, after a one-year spell of simply being known as "the Drama Society of the English Department".
