Welcome to the website of Turvey Amateur Theatrical Society
Dates for read throughs, auditions and workshops have been announced as follows:


For the first time on the TATS stage we brought you the wonderful tv comedy, ‘The Good Life’
A milestone birthday convinces Tom Good to make a change and he talks his wife, Barbara, into giving up the so-called rat race and joining him in a life of simplicity and self-sufficiency. They convert their suburban home into a farm, which doesn’t go down too well with their middle class neighbours Margot and Jerry.
What a fabulous job our talented team did in portraying some true tv legends supported by a super set and props including a rather rude pooing goat!
Well done to Jan Clemens for stepping in at the last minute and yet again directing a true TATs classic.

TATS’ next production – the Good Life – takes place June 13th – 15th
Tickets go on Sale on 1st May.
Congratulations go out to all the successful cast members below

The very popular TATS annual showbiz quiz took place in Turvey Village Hall on 26th January.

Eleven teams fought a fierce contest 
But someone had to win… and this year it was ‘The Clangers’ (Turvey bellringers). Many congratulations to them.

It takes a lot of work to stage these evenings, so many thanks to our quiz masters, David and John, and to the rest of the TATS team who supported in a variety of roles, this time off stage!

We even got the chance for the whole hall to sing a special 79th happy birthday to our wonderful ex chairman Rosemary, who also captained her team, ‘Rosemary’s Babies’, to the ‘runners up’ spot in the contest.
Finally… We would like to thank all our competitors for making the effort to support us and making it so enjoyable, and we look forward to seeing you all again at our future shows and events.
The dates for our next play ‘ The Good Life’ have just been announced.

Read Throughs: will be on 26th and 29th February

All the above will be held in Turvey village hall, starting at 730pm.

The TATS 2023 AGM took place on Monday 4th December at Turvey Village Hall at 1930.
A great time was had by all and following the formal side of the meeting a very good attendance enjoyed mulled wine, soft drinks, mince pies and off course the obligatory catch up conversations.
A special mention to Joint Chairman Rosemary Gentry, who after many years of sterling service stood down from the new Committee and in recognition of her significant contributions to the society over the years, was awarded an honorary membership.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our brilliant audiences over the year and hope to see you all again for our events in 2024.
We are still planning our programme ….but for a sneaky peak at what’s planned so far click on 2024 below.


So the curtain comes down on another fabulous TATS Musical.
