Our next show is
The Haunting of Hill House
by F. Andrew Leslie
19 – 26 October 2024
Hill House – old, bleak and isolated, it has a very dark and troubled past. The only person who goes there now is the housekeeper, the taciturn Mrs. Dudley. Enter Dr. Montague, who is keen to investigate any supernatural manifestations that he can find in Hill House. He invites three guests, Theodora, Eleanor and Luke. The three do not know each other but each has their own reasons for accepting the Doctor’s invitation and it isn’t long before the house starts to reveal its eerie secrets. Dr Montague’s wife and a friend Arthur, then arrive. They also want to investigate the supernatural but is it wise to stir up the past and will Hill House claim another victim?
There will be a free discussion/Q&A with the cast and crew following the performance on Saturday 19th October.
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.
