Current Projects
TADS’ next major production will be Cyrano de Bergerac – an exciting and modern take on a well-known story, with lots of interesting parts and multiple roles available; directed by Paul Sawtell (who directed Brassed Off in 2023). We’ll also be looking for an Assistant Director, Producer, Props and Costume managers, stage crew… This is a great opportunity to get involved with a TADS’ production, in a play that’s going to be really good fun to take part in.
Workshop auditions were held on 13th February, 7pm–9pm, and the principle characters have now been cast. If you would like to be involved in the ensemble or behind the scenes, drop an email to Brenda, TADS’ secretary: secretary@tads.org.uk.

TADS was formed 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.”
