M.A.D. (Monifieth Amateur Dramatics) was founded by Marion Goodfellow on the 15th of October 2003 and has gone from strength to strength. With 3 full length plays, two one act plays, an old time music hall extravaganza to raise money for Tsunami and various small performances for local organisations. Upcomming will be our fourth full length comedy play and a special appearance at Wellbank Village Hall.
Our performances have helped Monifieth Befriending Scheme, Ninewells Cancer Campaign, Monifieth Girl Guides, Monifieth Library, Medieval Fair and the British Heart Foundation.
We currently have over 20 members (and several more who help when we put the shows on) all headed by our Madame Chairperson, Christian Gourlay. None of us get paid - it's voluntary - as MAD is a registered charity. We all do it out of the kindness of our hearts (and my craving for an audience).
There is a social side to the group: After-show parties where the older members proved they could keep partying long after the younger ones were fast asleep! A recent outing to The Dundee Rep - to see how the professionals do it. A few of us often pop into the pub to discuss our performances (and eat Scampi Fries).
There's more to the group than acting so why not come along and see how you can help us. No previous experience necessary - see what new skills you could lean.
