A bit about us...

All Saints' Dramatic Society was founded in 1950, staged its first production in 1951 and has always produced quality theatre, covering a wide range of plays (including comedies, farces, thrillers and dramas), pantomimes and musicals. Home for us today is: Kinson Community Centre, Pelhams Park, Millhams Road, Bournemouth BH10 7LH.

We currently have around 30 members of varying ages, interests and abilities. We produce three shows a year: a pantomime in January; a play in May and our One Act’s Evenings, in July.

We also put on a Carol Concert and arrange a variety of regular social events, including rounders, ten pin bowling, improvisation evenings and our Christmas and Annual Awards' Party in December.

Our Next Production

Come along and see this fantastic play by Jim Cartwright the author of ‘Road’ and ‘Rise and Fall of Little Voice’.

A bickering husband and wife and the dozen regulars who pass through their pub in an evening. Each vignette skilfully combines pathos and humour. When a little girl is left behind by her father, a fragile reconciliation occurs as their own dark tragedy is revealed.

While the play is usually performed by two, many productions, such as ASDS’s, feature a variety of talented members bringing the pub to life.
