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 …
