To have lots of fun staging high quality Musical and Dramatic Theatre! 


 August Bank Holiday week

 California Suite, by Neil Simon

 Directed by Shelley Sheppard

 

Our shows are staged at Malborough Village Hall, three miles from the centre of Kingsbridge. Raked seating and a licensed bar transform the hall into a theatre. Tickets can be bought from Kingsbridge Information Centre. We produce a musical and a comedy play each year. Both have full houses. We are fortunate to have experienced and inspirational directors who help us achieve award-winning standards.

 

For our musical we rehearse over six months on Tuesdays and Thursdays 7.30pm at Dodbrooke church hall in Kingsbridge. In March we perform the show on Tuesday to Saturday evenings, with a Saturday matinee performance as well.  There's a cast of 30-40, an orchestra, hi-tech sound and lighting, great sets and costumes, smooth stage management and, of course, excellent singing, acting and dancing. We have won many awards for our musicals.

 

Our annual production of a comedy play starts rehearsals in May and performs with a smallish cast over four nights in late August/early September. Great sets and costumes, smooth stage management, excellent acting and lots of laughs for all are the norm.  We also have an enjoyable social and fund-raising calendar throughout each year.  Click Latest News or Productions for information on what's upcoming - and how to join in!

 

KATS welcomes new members of all ages and interests: on-stage, back-stage, front-of-house or social – you can try them all.  KATS is affiliated to the National Operatic and Dramatic Association (NODA).
