WELCOME TO CADS
We are a friendly and successful AmDram group that put on a variety of plays from comedy to the more serious and always welcome new members whether it is to act or help behind the scenes.
OUR NEXT PRODUCTION
CADS autumn production will be ‘Men at Arms’ by Terry Pratchett and will be directed by Simon Heffer.
Readthrough: Tuesday 11th July, 7:30pm at St Peter's Hall, Cranbourne.
Performance dates: 26th, 27th, 28th October 2017.
Venue: St Peter's Hall, Hatchet Lane, Cranbourne.
We would like to invite all potential cast members to come along on that evening to get a flavour of the play.
As there are a number of roles, many of them small ones, it’s also an ideal time for any budding new actors to come along to read a part and consider making a stage appearance. It’s a fun play and a would be an ideal one in which to make a stage debut.
OUR STAGE AND BEHIND IT!
We are unique in that we build our own stage just days before each production. We have it in kit form and we are always looking for willing helpers who are good with a hammer and screwdriver to put this together.
We also welcome help with front of house, make-up, costumes, props, scenery, running the bar and all the things essential to a successful production.
Of course if you can put your hand to directing a play, then do get in touch with us!
OUR PRODUCTIONS
We usually put on two productions a year - in April and October at St Peter's Church Hall, Cranbourne, North Ascot.
Our regular rehearsal nights are Tuesdays at the hall with an additional rehearsal night usually on Mondays also at the hall.
We play to full houses with a great atmosphere and our productions cover a wide range of theatre including serious drama, comedy, period pieces and newly written plays including ones written by some of our own members.
If you don't fancy being on stage, you can still be part of a very friendly group, because there is always plenty to help out with backstage and front of house.
SOCIAL ACTIVITES
Our social calendar includes walks, picnics, pub nights, themed evenings and visits to other local productions.
QUOTE, from a member!
"I have now been with CADS for 8 years and I can honestly say I do not regret the day I walked apprehensively through the door."
