Newtown Amateur Dramatics Society is gearing up for a busy new season after a lively start to summer in the town.
Members were out in force at the town carnival last weekend, helping to showcase the group’s work and raising its profile in the community ahead of the coming programme of productions.
Behind the scenes, the society is already hard at work preparing both its members and its venue for audiences.

Front of House volunteers have been carrying out maintenance and tidying tasks to ensure a warm welcome for visitors, as well as planning how best to support future performances.
A Front of House training session will be held on Monday, June 22, starting at 7.30pm, giving an overview of greeting audiences, managing the foyer and interval refreshments, and helping shows run smoothly from the moment the doors open.
This will be followed by a play selection meeting, where those attending can hear about and contribute to plans for the forthcoming season’s productions.
“We’ve had a fantastic response at the carnival and now we’re really looking forward to building on that momentum,” said chairman Jenni Freeman. “There’s a real buzz around the new season and it’s a great time for new faces to get involved, whether that’s front of house, backstage or on stage.”
Both the training session and meeting are open to existing members and anyone in the wider public who is interested in getting involved.
