For the results
Welcome to the PDA The Pembrokeshire Drama Association aims to promote amateur theatre in West Wales and help to improve the quality of productions through competitions, such as the One Act and Full Length Festivals held each year. In the past year, we're pleased to have welcomed several new groups to the Pembrokeshire Drama Association - Attic Players from Newcastle Emlyn, Saundersfoot Footlights and Haverfordwest Operatic Society. If you know of a group who might be interested in joining please contact us, because a vibrant drama scene in West Wales depends on the people who care about good theatre working together and sharing experiences in order to continually raise standards. HISTORY OF THE PDA In April and October 1986 representatives of Pembrokeshire Drama Societies were brought together by Mrs Jill Edge of Fishguard for informal meetings to explore the possibilities of co-operation between the Societies. At a meeting in January 1987 under the guidance of Mr Ron Hadden, the then Director of the Drama Association of Wales, the decision to meet formally was made and the Pembrokeshire Drama Association was born. A constitution was drawn up and the aims of the Association, which were to foster and develop amateur drama in the County by means of workshops, community festivals and productions etc., were set down in print. Since our formation we have organised adult workshops, a youth theatre workshop (in conjunction with HTV), technical interchange and One-Act Festivals. We have had successful technical workshops in conjunction with the Torch Theatre and a character-developing workshop in association with Theatre Clwyd. Another major achievement was the introduction, in 1993, of a Full-Length play Festival; this runs from April to September each year and enables groups to present their plays in their own venues. Since 1995, thanks mainly to sponsorship from the Milford Haven Refinery, we have managed to successfully host three Wales One-Act Finals - an important yearly event in the Welsh amateur theatre calendar.
