The Broughton Drama Group has existed in one form or another for many years in the beautiful Lake District village of Broughton-in-Furness. It had an enthusiastic revival in the mid-nineties and since then has produced a very popular annual Pantomime… and for the past seven years hosted a successful One Act Play season in the Summer months. We have as our base the excellent Victory Hall in Broughton-in-Furness which boasts a fantastic stage, state-of-the-art lighting and seating for approx 180 people. We may be an amateur company but there is a high standard of abilities both on and off stage. There is always a great response for cast and crew for our productions and the shows are well attended. broughtondramagroup@gmail.com

BADS is a very friendly company which is always ready to welcome new members - whether for acting parts or for backstage work. We're a group of very enthusiastic amateurs based in the Westmorland village of Burton-in-Kendal, midway between Kendal in Cumbria, and Lancaster in north Lancashire. Like all companies we have an ongoing need for more people - especially men and younger actors (anyone 17 and over can join us) - so if you have a burning desire to tread the boards or are dead set on building a set or are a dab hand with a sewing machine or needle and thread why not come along a join us? bads@burtonweb.org.uk
If you would like to contact us to ask about productions or to give us feedback on any CADS production you have seen you can email us on enquiries@cadscockermouth.co.uk We are always keen to welcome new members to Cads,whether or not you have been involved in amateur theatre previously. If you would like to find out about joining CADS - and you have an interest in amateur theatre, whether in acting, or production work, lighting, sound, set design and building, stagemanaging, producing or directing, please contact our Membership Secretary via our email address (enquiries@cadscockermouth.co.uk). We will then contact you and give you all the information you need to help you decide about joining CADS.
GADS is based in the village of Gosforth, in the county of Cumbria, England. Yes, there is another Gosforth, over in Geordie-land, but that's not our fault! Although we set ourselves high standards and do not suffer prima donnas gladly, we are a friendly group with a down-to-earth attitude and members from all walks of life. Even if you don't fancy 'treading the boards', you can still be very helpful to us, just by doing whatever you do best! We need set designers, scenery builders, property makers, scene painters, lighting enthusiasts, dressmakers, hairdressers, make up experts, programme designers, publicity people and, last but not least, front of house personnel to set out seats, sell tickets, run raffles, organise refreshments or just show people to their seats. For our pantomimes, we also need musicians and singers. Although, surprisingly, we have little use for butchers, bakers or candlestick makers, if you can handle a saw, hammer, screwdriver, paintbrush, wire cutters, soldering iron, needle and thread, scissors, pen, musical instrument, operate a sound system or lighting console, make a decent cup of tea or coffee - or almost anything else, then we'd like to meet you. ... And if you really can act (or would like to give it a try), then we'd be even more pleased to see you. We are looking for people of all ages to get involved but particularly in the 20 to 40 age range. For more information about GADS, history, productions and contact details please visit our website
