Thrapston Amateur Dramatic Society are delighted to reveal our 2026 line-up, featuring two beloved British comedies that promise plenty of laughter and joy.

First up is Calendar Girls by Tim Firth, running from Wednesday 13th to Saturday 16th May. Based on a true story, this warm and witty play follows a group of ordinary Yorkshire women who decide to create an extraordinary charity calendar – tastefully posing for it themselves! As their idea grows beyond their wildest expectations, Calendar Girls celebrates friendship, courage, and community spirit.

Following a run of Dramas (and many train-themed plays!), this spring TADS are returning to comedy with Rumours, a hilarious farce by Neil Simon.

Charley, a prominent Government official, is found with a superficial bullet wound and his wife missing. Four couples invited to his home for a party try to hide what they think is a scandal from each other, until everyone is caught up in a web of rumour and misunderstanding.

This play originally premiered on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre in November 1988 and ran for two years. The British version that TADS will be performing premiered in August 1990 at the Chichester Festival Theatre.

Performance dates will be from Wednesday 14th to Saturday 17th May 2025. Tickets are available now from https://tadsthrapston.org.uk/tickets or on 07543 3212...

Auditions for our spring production of “Rumours” by Neil Simon will be held on Friday February 7th from 7:30pm at the Woolpack. We will be looking to cast four male roles and four female, as well as two of any gender.

These are open auditions and everyone is welcome. And if you are not interested in auditioning, but you are interested in being involved in the Spring Play, please come along to meet up, have a drink and a chat and find out what is going on.
