Welcome to WADS
Woodcote Amateur Dramatic Society (WADS) was founded in 1965 and has an established reputation for staging musical/Drama/Panto theatre productions that are of an exceptional standard using talent from in and around Woodcote.
We are an enthusiastic friendly group and we stage productions in spring and autumn and these include a varied selection of entertainment. Recent years have seen a number of successful murder mystery evenings, various revues, plenty of comedies, and some musical evenings. We have in the past staged an annual pantomime which was extremely popular locally but since the Covid Pandemic we have been unable to run this event. We are hoping to revise the traditional pantomime this year.
Our Next Show
Since our record-breaking production of An Amateur Killer last November, WADS have certainly not been resting on their laurels or basking in the glory. Oh no, it’s straight on to the next adventure!
WADS proudly present an evening of three plays. Yes, it’s a TRIPLE BILL!

The Attic by Robert Scott
This little chiller of a ghost story is set in, you guessed it, the attic of the suburban home of Demi and Callum. What are the strange creepy noises and what’s the story behind the half-written letter Demi finds? Is it a confession to a murder? You will be shaken to the core as the answers are revealed!
Carrot by David Tristram
A short fast paced comedy. The manager of an engineering firm tries desperately to negotiate new terms with the staunch, no-nonsense leader do the workers union. Can he succeed without pulling all his hair out in frustration!
White Lies by Richard James
Anne award winning comedy. Old university friends arrange a thirty-year reunion. Is this a good idea though? Old rivalries and lies are revealed to make it a very uncomfortable evening for some. Full of witty lines and the odd quirky character make this little comedy a gem!
