Purton amateur dramatic society

Purton Amateur Dramatic Society (PADS) is based in the village of Purton, Wiltshire. Each year, around February, we produce a pantomime and sometime during the year we also put on a play, usually in the spring or autumn. We are also involved in various other projects on an ad hoc basis.

Most of our productions are “bought in” from commercial agents but over the years quite a few of our pantomimes and sketches have been written by members of the society.

Recent productions include:

Trouble in Fairyland - Panto Feb 2014

Pull The Other One - Farce Oct 2013

Fund Raising Murder Mystery -2013

Sinbad The Sailor - Panto Feb 2013

The Government Inspector - Comedy Oct 2012

Way Out Western - Panto Feb 2012

PADS is 40 years old this year, 2014. There are many more productions stretching further back over the years.     

       WHY NOT JOIN US!!

We are always  pleased to welcome new members to PADS. So if you fancy putting on a funny outfit and treading the boards, why not get in touch with us. If you don’t feel too confident but just want to give it a try, start off in the chorus.

Of course it isn’t just getting up on the stage. We also need backstage crew, lighting and sound engineers, make up artistes, set builders, bar staff, costume makers etc. So there’s always plenty to get involved in.

As an actor you would be required to attend rehearsals twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There would also be a need to come along to dress rehearsals as the production date draws near. As backstage crew etc. it would only be necessary to come along  as the production approaches and for dress rehearsals. Set building, (no skills necessary) takes place on 3-4 Sunday  mornings prior to a production.  

 

THERE IS NO JOINING FEE NOR ARE THERE ANY SUBSCRIPTIONS TO PAY. SO IF WE’VE TEMPTED YOU, PLEASE GET IN TOUCH. CONTACT DETAILS FOLLOW.
