WADS   HISTORY

The Society started in 1920 with two short one-act plays, which gloried in the titles of “Freezing a Mother in Law” and “In The Cellar”.  Unfortunately all that remains is the original poster for the event.  However, we can be certain the exercise was well received because, since then, with the exception of the war years, WADS has been an ever present part of the Westerham Community, staging up to four shows in a year.  In recent times, this number has settled at two, one show in the spring and one in winter.

PRODUCTIONS

The Society succeeds in staging a wide range of material, from Music Hall and Revue, through Comedy and Farce, to Contemporary and Classic Drama and, of course, Pantomime!  We are blessed with good strength in all key areas, both acting and music as well as technical, costume and make-up but, as always, there is so much more room for others to join and share in the work and enjoyment.

YOUTH   THEATRE 

We have an established Youth Theatre, who play a regular and active part in many of our productions, both on and off the  stage.  This group hold their own regular meetings, combining social and theatrical interests, leading to their own productions.

SOCIAL

The Society maintains a strong, and active social side, where members and their friends meet on the first Monday of each month at a local hostelry.  This is also an opportunity to welcome anyone interested in discovering more about WADS, whether it be to act, direct, work in the many aspects of back-stage, or simply to support this historic society.

We hold other social events, where members can meet and enjoy good company.
