Current Projects
We’re proud to be a part of the first ever This Is Tewkesbury. We’ll be performing a few small pieces and we’ll have a stand for people to visit if you’d like to meet us or ask any questions. Hope to see you there.
Everyone is invited to audition for Volpone; or The Fox, at the Tewkesbury Methodist Church Hall, from 7:30pm on Tuesday 26th May, or on Tuesday 2nd June.
We will perform Volpone at the Old Baptist Chapel 12th-15th November 2026. It is a fast-paced dark comedy, intended to run for approximately an hour and a half.
Rehearsals will start sporadically over the summer, with four or five sessions over June-August to work on building the ensemble, and tackling the verse, etc. We ask that actors also use these months to learn their lines, as we want to hit the ground running in September when we will start one rehearsal a week, to increase to two rehearsals a week (for at least some of the cast) in mid-October.
More information on exactly what to expect from the auditions will be shared soon, including the excerpts from the text that we will be using.

Future Projects
Every year TADS aims to produce a full-length show at The Roses Theatre, Tewkesbury, and a one-act play for the Worcestershire Theatre Festival.
Watch this space for more details about our planned productions for 2026.
TADS was formed well over half a century ago as Tewkesbury Amateur Dramatic Society with the aim of providing drama for the enjoyment of its members and the community at large, and to widen the society members’ knowledge of all aspects of drama.
“I regard the theatre as the greatest of all art forms, the most immediate way in which a human being can share with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.”
