TADS and the Millenium
TADS have sent the photo and a short article about TADS, its history, TADS today, and the future of TADS to the Tewkesbury Millenium Project. Anyone wishing to see a copy of the article may get one from Philip Davis.
Next Production
Richard Hughes is considering directing “Comedy of Errors” for next summer. This would be an open-air production, with one or more performances at the Roses.
Minack Theatre
We are trying to arrange putting on a play at this open-air theatre. Although it is unlikely that we can do anything for some years because of the long waiting list, this it certainly something well worth the effort. Watch this space for more details.
Reminder:
