Group Leader Gael Hughes-Jones  Contact Gael

Drama is still proving to be a very popular group, but some of our members, who have been 'acting' members for some years have now decided to move to Front of House, so we have room for some new actors.  If you have often thought you would like to 'tread the boards' but have not had the courage or opportunity to do so, why not give it a try. We are a friendly group and have a lot of fun. New members are always welcome.

We meet on every 2nd and 4th Monday afternoon from 2-4pm at Galloway Hall, Brackenbury Road, Fulwood. New members please contact me before attending as nearer to production the venue needs to change.  We put two productions on each year; a Pantomime in January and a play in the summer.

Background of the group

The PADUTA Players was established in 2014 in the Farne Loft Room at St Cuthbert's Church when a small group got together to discuss the possibility of forming a u3a Drama Group. Since then we have gone from strength to strength, and now have a large group. We have performed many plays, pantomimes and sketches over the years, in the Northumbria Hall at St Cuthbert's, at PNE, at Fulwood Free Methodist Church, Christ Church, Fulwood and most recently at St Andrew's Hall, Ashton. We are currently looking for a new venue to perform our Pantomime in January 2026.

Following an article in the national u3a magazine we hired two of our plays to other u3a groups and had good feedback.
