Cockermouth has a proud tradition of amateur dramatics dating all the way back to the 19^th Century, one we’re proud to follow in the footsteps of. Set up in 1984, The Cockermouth Amateur Dramatics Society (CADS) is a community-based organisation, made up of local volunteers dedicated to putting on a show! We put on a variety of productions, from dramas and comedies, to pantos and play readings, working with – and entertaining – the whole community.
