Huge congratulations to Mike Tibbetts, who has just been awarded the SCDA Scott Salver Playwriting Competition Award 2019, for ‘Mrs G’, the FADS One Act Play Festival entry. We were the first company to stage the play, giving it its world premiere in Fintry on the 8th of March this year. This is the fifth time Mike has won the award, which was first presented by SCDA in 1971, and he now shares the record for the most wins. What a great boost for the FADS team, who head off to Edinburgh next week for the Eastern Division Final – let’s do Mike proud! If you'd like to come and support the team, you can buy tickets here. Presentation of the playwriting award for ‘Mrs G’ will be made at the Scott

Great news: we've now got too many attendees to fit in the bowling club, so have had to relocate the evening to the Menzies Hall! That means we can accommodate lots more people - yay! - so, if you haven't already confirmed your place, pop an email to website@fintrydrama.org.uk . The entry fee is just £2, BYO booze and snacks.....and if you can BYO glasses as well, that will help massively with the clear up :) More info here.

Here we go - 'Mrs G' will be hitting the stage last on the middle night (that's third on Friday). Tickets are £12 per night, available online now. Come along and support the FADS team in Edinburgh as they do their very best to get through to the Scottish Final!

Back: Ellen Ross (Prompt), Sarah Walker (Mrs G) Front: Denver Chalmers (The Man), Ian Turner (Producer/Director) With 'Mrs G' grabbing second place in the first round of the SCDA One-Act Play Festival this weekend, the team is now preparing for the Eastern Division final, being held at the Church Hill Theatre in Edinburgh from 4th to 6th April. Hurrah! A huge well done to the whole team, especially Ian Turner, who also directed the SSS Young Farmers' entry, 'Little Grimley Presents Strictly Sex Factor on Ice', which came first. With two productions through to the second round, he's got a busy few weeks ahead.... :) You can see both plays in Fintry on Thurs 21st and Fri 22nd March - tickets

If you're quietly putting a team together or still just toying with the idea of coming along on the 29th for a bit of competition and socialising at our Quiz Night, the deadline for decisions is this Friday, the 8th. We're looking for a minimum of 15 people to make it worthwhile, so please can you email website@fintrydrama.org.uk this week to confirm your place. I've only had two emails so far....now looking forward to a flood! :) All the info is here: https://www.fintrydrama.org.uk/single-post/2019/02/23/Tickets-and-a-Quiz-Night Come along and who knows what you might win?!

We're absolutely delighted that Mike Tibbetts, who wrote our SCDA one-act competition entry, 'Mrs G', is coming to see our performance on Thursday 21st March and has kindly agreed to take part in a Q&A with the actors after the show. So, if you haven't already bought your tickets to see this 40-minute slice of thought-provoking drama, why not come along on the 21st and give your feedback to the man who conceived it? Tickets are available now for all performances:
