Drama for Fun is a non-profit community Amateur Dramatics group in Portslade near Brighton, East Sussex. Our plays so far have been conceived and written by the group but we are thinking of also producing plays written by other playwrights. Drama for Fun used to be an adult education class at Portslade Community College taught by Saskia Wesnigk-Wood. Every year the students would say: "We want to do a play!" So eventually it happened and this group is the result. Lily and the Magic Book was our first production as an independent non-profit community group. 

Here is a list of the plays we have written and performed so far:

Ocean Liner (Hilarity on the High Seas; 7f, 4m),

In a Murderous Manor (9-10 f, 3-4m)

Pantos and shows for children:

Lily and the Magic Book (a topsy-turvy pantomime; 9-10 f, 4-5m, 2 children);

Lily's Magical Quest, another adventure with our favourite heroine (9-11 f, 4-5 m (some doubling) 7 children in one or two scenes only)

Jim's Underwater Adventure - a fishy tale (3 m, 7 f, children)

Drama for Fun is looking for new members, so if you are interested in acting, writing plays or helping back-stage, let us know. As we rehearse in the evenings, we cannot have children under 16 joining the group, though they may appear on stage in small roles if they are the children of group members. There is a £20 membership fee and a £5 monthly subscription. We have regular meetings, a constitution and a membership agreement form which you would need to sign.
