Newtown Amateur Dramatic Society Description
On Friday, 7th of September 1934, a group of people gathered together at the recreation office, Community House, Severn Place, to discuss the possibility of forming a society which would be solely devoted to the interests of drama and presenting plays to the public. All of those present had been involved in one way or another with public performances of plays with their church groups and other organisations such as the Welsh Society, but this was the first time that a Dramatic Society was formed.
It was resolved that the name of the Society should be the Newtown Amateur Dramatic Society. The meetings of the Society were held in a room at Community House, a building purchased and adapted for use by various voluntary organisations in the town by the Montgomery County Recreation Association, and room number 5 at the top of the building was 'home' for many years for the society.
The first play performed on the 14th, 15th and 16th of March 1935, was 'The Barretts of Wimpole Street' by Rudolph Beiser and this was performed at the Victoria Hall (situated on the site now occupied by Ladywell House). The hire charge for the hall for the week was £17. 10s. 0d and prices of admission were 3s. 6d. , 2s. 6d. And 1s. 0d.
