Section D Achievements and performance

Amateur Dramatic performances by the group: Summary of the main achievements of the charity Creative Streak – May 2023– a production of short plays and playlets during the year written by the members of CADOS covering a variety of styles and subjects. Comedy and musical items were accompanied by serious dramatic studies and other items. Thus giving the audience the chance to enjoy several different styles whilst allowing the directors and actors to show their understanding of each piece and how best to present it for a paying audience. Betty Blue Eyes – October 2023 – this award winning musical is based on the film ‘A Private Function’ and features the title character of Betty who is a blue-eyed pig. Set after the second World War when rationing was still in place, the musical evokes the period in costumes and attitudes. This was played on a thrust stage and the whole company enjoyed presenting this show to our audiences. Sleeping Beauty – February 2024 – a traditional pantomime, presented in the usual CADOS style, including several fairies, several witches and with the Prince using a light sabre in place of a sword. The social events increased over the previous year and we presented three classical concerts as well as introducing a Strictly Sparkle tea dance and a Writers Group play reading evening. Hirings of the hall continued at the same rate as the previous year and new lighting and staging equipment was purchased to reduce future hire costs.
