Past Plays

This page lists all the known full-length plays performed by Cheadle Hulme Amateur Dramatic Society, later known as Chads Theatre Company. Whilst early plays performed by the Junior Section were included in the official numbering, later plays performed by the Youth Section (later Youth Studio) from the 1960s onwards were not. These plays are indicated by Y in the numbering. Plays performed in the studio are also not numbered, and are indicated by S. Special one-off full-length performances by Chads are indicated by SP and are not counted in the numbering. The list does not include one-act plays, festivals, one-off shows and events, and other groups performing at Chads Theatre.
