TPADS is a Stage Society based (as its name suggests) in the village of Thringstone in North West Leicestershire. It’s a non-profit making organisation which provides entertainment to the local community and, at the same time, provides an outlet for local talent.. Starting as a 'Pantomime' Society (see below), the group went on to perform plays and comedy revues, and, in recent years, musicals.
We are a community-based group; with the majority of members living in the local area. Although not a ‘choral society’ in the traditional sense, we do put in a lot of hard work and (we are told) put on excellent shows which are great fun to do, and which our local audiences appreciate greatly! Our main show is a traditional comedy FAMILY pantomime which we stage every January.
For some years now, in May, we have ALSO staged a musical show - productions have included ‘My Fair Lady’, ‘Calamity Jane’, ‘Brigadoon’, ‘South Pacific’, ‘Carousel’, ‘Oliver!’, ‘Annie’ and ‘42nd Street’ to name just a few!
Welcome to ‘Thringstone Pantomime & Drama Society’
As well as providing local community entertainment, the society continues to make charitable donations. During each show the front-of-house team runs a raffle for various local charities, and many thousands of pounds have been donated in this way over the years. Members have also held a 'Christmas sing-a-long' outside a local supermarket, where a collection is taken for charity. In October 2007, and again in 2008 and 2009 some society members helped to entertain at the local Cancer Research Committee's 'Pink Party', raising a total of nearly £2000 for this excellent cause.
TPADS is proud to support local charities...
