Dolgellau is a small picturesque market town in beautiful surroundings in North Wales. Click HERE to see where we are.

Dolgellau Amateur Dramatic Society was brought  in  to existence in 1978.  Like many societies of our kind we have had our share of ups and downs and we are very dependent on the enthusiasm of our active members to perform productions year on year.

 The acquisition of the building in Glyndwr Street was an  achievement of which we are justifiably  proud. A grant from  the  National Lottery and a loan from the Foundation for Sport and the Arts, enabled  the Society to add an extension to the  existing building thus giving us more back  stage facilities and a  club  room which is available for  committee  meetings and less formal  gatherings, as well as being the place  where patrons can  enjoy  refreshments during intervals in  performances. The seating capacity of the auditorium is around 70 at the moment but we're hoping to be able to fund a change to our seating arrangements, fingers crossed.

 Throughout the year, the company present a play, poetry and  prose readings and hosts  professional theatre companies and live  music. The big production of the year is usually the annual  pantomime. Of course, we are entirely in the hands of our active members and at present, we sometimes lack people brave enough to walk on stage but we carry on.

 The poetry and prose evenings which are staged once a month from January to November in the Club Room and are  usually well attended by a dedicated audience and sometimes feature the poetry and prose of society members.

Any member can offer to organize a poetry and prose evening and there are no set themes. They usually take place on the third Friday of the month and if you're not sure how to go about it just ask a committee member for help.

 

    The building is available for hire for theatrical uses and private functions.
    Cwmni Theatr Fach Company (Dolgellau Amateur Dramatic Society) is a  registered  charity and exists financially,  largely on membership fees and  donations and on the generous grants from various Council and charitable bodies . We  have a  constitution and a properly elected committee who take care of the day to day running of the Society and we work very hard to achieve our main aim of  bringing  live entertainment to the community and  deserve  support.
