Welcome

Welcome to the Woking Drama Association’s website. Whether you are already a member of established local drama society or a new talent looking for an outlet I hope that within these pages you will find all the information you need.

The WDA exists to encourage and support the performing arts in Woking. Most of the leading local theatre and drama groups belong to the WDA and we are also is affiliated to many of the leading drama associations, particularly the NATIONAL DRAMA FESTIVALS ASSOCIATION.

One of the key aims of WDA is to present an annual drama festival in Woking every October. (www.wokingdramafestival.org.uk). This year we celebrate our 50th Festival. Winners from Woking can be invited to participate in the NDFA’s British All Winners Festival (where over the past two years we've had some success. The WDA will host the British All Winners Festival in Woking in July 2009.

Outside of the annual drama festival, the WDA works as a focal point for local theatre groups and as a point of reference for directors looking for on-stage talent, backstage; props; costumes or set building. Later this year will start work on building a directory of talent and services available from each member group or from professional suppliers together with a “Notice Board” for people looking for help.

I hope that you will find as much information as you need within these pages. We have built in hotlinks to member society websites, to the Woking Borough Councils own web site about what’s on in the area and other resources.

Of course we will not have covered everything for now. If you have a thought or an idea to make this site even better please do not hesitate to contact me.

Regards

Stewart Mison
WDA Chairman
