Reformed Allerton Dramatic Society (RADS)

Reformed Allerton Dramatic Society (RADS) is the resident amateur drama society at Allerton United Reformed Church. The society has a long history and has been entertaining local audiences for decades. RADS is a friendly, sociable group and new members are always welcome. Why not come along to a rehearsal and get involved?

About RADS
RADS was founded by church member Margaret Shaw in 1974. Since then, RADS has become a well-loved fixture in the South Liverpool area, with the local community attending performances year after year.

RADS performs two full-length plays a year, usually in May and November, with an additional dinner theatre fundraiser production in January or February. Performances take place in the main hall of Allerton United Reformed Church, a venue which can seat up to 200 people.

How to Get Involved

Whether you’re interested in performing or helping out behind the scenes, there are many roles that make a successful theatre production. From acting to prompting, costumes and props, lighting and sound, publicity and promotion - the list goes on!

If you’re interested in finding out more about what RADS is doing and how you can get involved, please feel free to drop in on a rehearsal. RADS usually rehearses on Monday evenings from 19.30 until 22.00 throughout the year.

You may want to drop us a message via email or Facebook beforehand just to check rehearsals are on. To access the Hall, please use the entrance in the car park and ring the bell three times, and a member will greet you.

How to Find Us

RADS is based at Allerton United Reformed Church Hall on the corner of Mather and Booker Avenue, L18 7HD. The 86 and 86A bus route stops right outside, and West Allerton station is just a short walk around the corner.
