About CADS
Corvus* Amateur Drama Society (CADS) is Royston’s amateur drama group, performing since the 1940s. Membership is open to anyone from fifteen years of age upwards, though we also perform a family pantomime that embraces all age groups. The group meets socially on the last Thursday of every month at the Bull Inn, Royston (unless we're actually performing), has recently started up its own peripatetic play reading group, has inaugurated an exciting new programme of quarterly drama meetings, and performs regularly at Greneway School and Meridian School, Garden Walk, Royston.
