introduction
We are a small, friendly society based in Highworth, which is a market town in the north-eastern corner of the county of Wiltshire, England. We put a show together appoximately every six months, and these cover a good range - our previous productions have included farces, pantomimes, thrillers, variety shows and comedies. We are a very sociable bunch: we work hard during our rehearsals but can often be found in the local pub afterwards - and our after-show parties are usually something to remember (hazily)! We would welcome new members to strengthen both our onstage and backstage crews. So if you are reading this as a newcomer to HADS and think you might like to take up a challenging but very rewarding past-time, please contact us, or any of the members mentioned in this website. If you feel a little shy about going on stage in front of huge (!) crowds, we should mention that there are many other ways that you can contribute to HADS: set-building, helping out in front of house, reading for people who can't attend a rehearsal, and so on. No experience is necessary - all we want is your enthusiasm!

February 2010 - Panto
February production - The Wizard of OZ by Adrian BarradellThe panto season is here and HADS will be performing a version of the Wizard of OZ written by Adrian Barradell.
The story starts with a tornado which sends the farmhouse occupied by Dorothy Gale on an impromptu flight to the land of Oz, where she encounters Munchins, fairies,a scarecrow, a tin man and a lion in her quest to find the Wizard of Oz and return to her home in Kansas and right in the middle is a talent show hosted by Simon Trowel!! As usual with the HADS panto there will be lots of fun and lots of audience interaction. The venue is as usual Warneford School Hall on 19/20 February 2010. Tickets can be obtained at various venues round Highworth. I look forward to seeing you there.
Maureen Penny, Chairman HADS
