Welcome
from Richard Berman. (C.A.D.S. Co-founder)After much deliberation, C.A.D.S. seemed a fitting name for our dedicated acting troupe, even if it does conjure up memories of Leslie Philips’ philanderer or Terry Thomas’ bounder. And so, in the summer of 2004, the notion of brining light hearted drama to the wider community of Chorleywood was turned into a reality.
The thought of setting up and running such a group was both daunting and exciting, but where to begin? I knew there was no way I could do it all alone, so building a team of committed and talented individuals had to be the starting point, along with sounding out those who might wish to participate.Local advertising fliers were placed in shop windows, and the Watford Observer ran a piece about the intentions of the group. The response was favourable, and quite a number of people expressed an interest in either acting or helping out backstage.
