The local community drama group has been providing theatre to Whitchurch since 1958 and has called the Parish Hall home since 2015. They aim to put on two productions per year and often put on other events such as Murder Mystery dinners and Poetry & Prose evenings, which are open to all. They are the reason for the spotlights on the ceiling and the stage curtain. WADS are an important part of the Parish Hall as well as the community surrounding it.

Club Night is every Tuesday at 8pm, with the exception of the school summer holidays, and anyone is welcome to come along. We are always looking for new members both on stage and supporting - actors, seamstresses, set builders and decorators, hair & make up …

Come On, Jeeves

Whilst Bertie Wooster is out of town, his gentleman's gentleman, the inimitable Jeeves, is on loan to the 9th Earl of Towcester. The Earl’s moonlighting as a racecourse bookie has left him indebted to a fearsome big game hunter, and he’s under pressure to sell his crumbling estate to a wealthy clairvoyant. Can the unflappable and ever-resourceful Jeeves save the day for this nice-but-dim aristocrat and retrieve the family fortune?!

Co-written by Guy Bolton and PG Wodehouse, this comedy is being staged at the Parish Hall on 16-18 January.
To get your tickets, which cost £12 and £8, visit wadswhitchurch.org or ticketsource.co.uk/wadsweb, telephone 07903 194767 or email wadswhitchurch@gmail.com.

Murder in Play - February 2024

Boris Smolensky's budget repertory production of "Murder at Priorswell Manor" is looking decidedly shaky. The cast are more interested in their egos than the play and life imitates art when one of the cast of the play is murdered on stage. But who done it? The philandering director or his mistress, the old-school actor with a drink problem, the warring “mature” actresses – one from film and one from stage – or was it the stage manager fed up with being shouted at? So many to choose from and so many red herrings. Can you work it out before the final curtain as the cast switch between their character and the character or characters (!), in the play??
