Our next show is

Halcyon Days

by Deirdre Kinahan

12 – 16 November 2024

An uplifting, bittersweet drama set in a nursing home, celebrating friendship and the human spirit. Straight forwardly honest and touching… there’s a wonderful balance between humour and poignancy here, and even within the humour, a rich blend of both unintentional hilarity and insightful wit. (Entertainment.ie)

There will be a free discussion/Q&A with the cast and director following the performance on Tuesday 12 November.

This amateur production of “Halcyon Days” is presented by arrangement with NICK HERN BOOKS

This production will be performed in the studio on the first floor, which is accessed by a flight of stairs.

Get Involved

Chads is run entirely by volunteer members and we are always on the look out for more people to join us. Even if being on stage is not your thing, there are a huge range of activities you can become involved with.

Chads Theatre was founded just after the First World War as Cheadle Hulme Amateur Dramatic Society, performing in different venues in the Cheadle Hulme area. In October 1959 the members opened their own premises and have continued to develop the Theatre ever since, providing a first class venue for its members and patrons. We currently perform six main stage and two studio plays each season, and the theatre and its members are the recipients of many awards.
