Welcome to the website of Tewkesbury's award-winning amateur theatre company.

On these pages we hope to give you some idea of what our society is about, some of the productions we have done in the past, and keep you informed of all forthcoming events.

Mike Babb

Mike Babb, a long standing member of TADS, died on 16th April. His funeral was at Cheltenham Crematorium on 25th April. Mike's family asked that people make donations to the Acorns Children's Hospices in  lieu of flowers.

The Threepenny Opera

The next major full length production will be Threepenny Opera which will be presented at the Roses Theatre.   The dates of the performances are Friday 18 May 2012 at 7:30pm  & Saturday 19 May at 2:30pm & 7:30pm. (This is a change from the dates originally announced here.)

Go to the Roses web site to book your tickets now!

See the Future Productions page for more information.

A set of images can be see here.

Directors Wanted!

Have you always wanted directing but have been worried about taking that big step? Maybe you are an experienced director who would like a new challenge? TADS have several very experienced, successful, prize winning directors but why should they hog all of the glory?

TADS are looking for new directors  to share the load. If you come with a glowing CV with a burning desire to put on your favourite play in a "proper theatre" and we like you then this could be your opportunity. If you have never directed before but want to see if it is as easy as it looks then one of our experienced directors can keep an eye on you as you direct one of our acclaimed One Act Plays.

If you vaguely fancy the idea then get in touch!!

2013 Main Production

A provisional decision has been made about our main 2013 Roses production.  If our appeal for directors has struck a chord then might still be time to present your ideas at the next monthly meeting.

2012 AGM

The elections at 2012 AGM for the society's officers resulted in no changes except that Jenny Smart is the new treasurer after Gill Horsey stood down.

TADS Newsletters

The archive page has been updated to include various old TADS newletters, grapevines & bulletins which I found lying around. If you have any which are not included on the site could you please lend them to me or an officer of the  society so they can be added to the web site and a copy added to the paper archive.

See the Contact Us page for the full list and how to contact the current officers.

TADS was formed over 30 years ago and has built a reputation for producing high quality productions. There are more details in the About TADS pages.

The society is run by its members from its monthly meeting (as distinct from a committee which determines everything) at which visitors are welcome. We usually rehearse twice a week so if you cannot make a meeting why not come along to one of them, and meet us there?

For further details, please send us an email.

Last update: 30^th April 2012.   This site is constantly being updated so check back soon to see what's going on
