An amateur, community drama group, founded over 30 years ago, based in the Spring Grove area of Kingston, with members from a wider area. The group usually stages four shows a year, most running for two evenings and including supper. One of the these is the annual pantomime, with extra local involvement. We also put on occasional play-readings and workshops.
Over the last ten years, more than £20,000 has been donated to local and national charities chosen by the members.

Zorro! - February 2018

The year is 1835... Only one man stands in their way. They call him... Zorro!
The show featured heroes and villains, power hungry generals, unlucky smugglers, desperate revolutionaries, star crossed lovers, a mad scientist, an evil property tycoon, a very naughty cockroach, and much much more!
With bad jokes, great songs, sword fights choreographed by the great Peter Case, and the usual participation from our fine audience, this show was superb fun for the whole family. Hasta la vista amigos!
Sold out both evenings.
