  If you’re not a member of SBADS but you’d like to know about our events and productions, sign up for our special mailing list.

South Brent Amateur Dramatic Society is a bit of a mouthful, so we’re almost always known as SBADS.

Our members range from 8 to 80+, come from a wide range of backgrounds, do all sorts of day jobs and (shhh!) not all are from South Brent itself. We’re just a friendly bunch of ordinary people who can put on a jolly good show.

SBADS usually stages two or three productions a year in South Brent Village Hall on the edge of Dartmoor in south Devon. We perform a wide variety of productions, ranging from one-man shows through full-cast plays to our larger-than-life and ever-popular pantomimes. There are lots of opportunities to get involved, both on-stage and behind the scenes, and we always welcome new members.
