Pratts Bottom Dramatics Society

Pratts Bottom Dramatics Society Pratts Bottom Dramatic Society (PBDS) has been in existence for over 50 years with the first production taking place in 1953.

Two of the original members are still taking an active part and have seen many people pass through the society. Our range of productions vary and includes comedy, drama, revues, pantomimes, murder mysteries and supper evenings with entertainment. Most years PBDS enters the Bromley Theatre Festival and has been able to boast (not that we like to show off!) successes with winning most of the differe

nt categories at some point. The society has always performed in the Pratts Bottom Village Hall either on the stage or performing in the round, but has also been known to venture out amongst the audience on the village green, when we performed a medieval mystery play on the back of a cart during the Fete!

Happy Sunday everyone!

We had great fun this afternoon at the read- through of our upcoming Murder Mystery, Class War. (We even had to wipe away tears of laughter at one point!)

We wanted to remind you that the auditions are at the village hall tomorrow evening, from 7.30pm, and we look forward to casting such an exciting production.

If you are interested in supporting us and lending your acting/ improv skills without auditioning for a main cast member, there are also lots of opportunities to join us as dinner ladies, members of the PTA etc- do get in touch if this interests you.
