CURRENT MOOD: MELTING 🥵☀️🏃‍♀️

​Is anyone else completely defeated by this heatwave? Because same. 🌡️🍦

​This candid shot from our rehearsals perfectly sums up the energy right now. We are supposed to be training hard for a half-marathon in Lexi’s Midwife Runners, but honestly, just walking from the car to the stage feels like an Olympic sport in this weather! 🫠💦

​As you can see, the squad has officially swapped "running pace" for "collapsed on a park bench pace." 🏃‍♀️❌

​If you are looking for the ultimate escape from the blistering sun this summer, we have the perfect solution. Skip the sticky beer gardens and come melt with laughter inside our beautifully air-conditioned theatre instead! ❄️🎭 You get a fantastic, high-energy comedy, absolutely zero chance of sunburn, and full access to our on-site bar where you can grab ice-cold, refreshing drinks pre-show and during the interval! 🥂🍻

​Beat the heatwave and lock in your summer plans today! (Age rating 12+) 🔞

THE FAMILY THAT REHEARSES TOGETHER, CELEBRATES TOGETHER! 🎂🥳🎭

​Behind all the onstage drama, high-stakes running training, and intense arguments (looking at you, Lexi and Charmaine! 😉), there is a whole lot of love in our cast.

​Last night, our rehearsal space turned into a full-on party zone as we celebrated a massive milestone—a very Happy 50th Birthday to the wonderful Claire, who plays Tina in Lexi’s Midwife Runners! 🎈✨

​From party hats and delicious birthday cake to singing our hearts out at the top of our lungs, it was the perfect reminder of why we love community theatre.
KADs isn't just a theatre group; it’s a supportive, tight-knit family where we lift each other up, share a million laughs, and celebrate each other's big moments both on and off the stage. 💖

​Claire Brunt we hope you had the best night—you bring so much joy to this cast! 🥂

​If you want to come and support this incredible, hard-working team, we’d love to have you in our audience this summer.
Come for the laughs, stay for the air-conditioning, and see what our theatre family has been cooking up! ❄️🎭 (Age rating 12+) 🔞

FOOTBALL’S COMING HOME... BUT IS THE SQUAD READY?! ⚽🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏃‍♀️

​The countdown is over! England kicks off their first World Cup game tonight, and the football fever has officially hit the Lexi’s Midwife Runners camp! 🏆✨

​We’ve been looking at our own line-up, and we reckon Thomas Tuchel might want to call a few of us up for the 2026 squad. ⚽️
We’ve got the stamina, the teamwork, and the competitive spirit down to a tee!

​...Though looking closely at this squad photo, our tactical formation might need a tiny bit of work. Davey is already tackling the "C" from the wrong angle! 🤦‍♀️😂 Let’s just say his pitch coordination is still "under rehearsal"!

​While you're cheering on the national team today, don't forget to secure your tactics for the ultimate grown-up night out this summer. Tickets are moving fast, so beat the crowd and sign up for the squad! (Rating 12+) 🔞

SQUAD MERCH HAS ARRIVED! 🏃‍♀️👕🎉

​Look what just landed! The official Lexi’s Midwife Runners merchandise shirts are here, and we couldn’t wait to try them on at rehearsal last night.

The squad is officially looking the part! 🤩✨
​We tried to celebrate with a classic "YMCA" pose... but in true comedy fashion, Davey decided to put his own creative twist on the letter "C"! 🤦‍♀️😂 Let’s just say his coordination is still "under rehearsal"—which is exactly why you need to come see the final chaos on stage this summer!

​A massive, heartfelt thank you to the brilliant team at Mayo Digital Media Limited & Abingdon Print Services for doing such a phenomenal job with our colorful t-shirts. The quality is fantastic and they are definitely going to keep us looking sharp and motivated through our rehearsals! 🙌🎨

MAKING LIFE BEAUTIFUL 💖✨

​Today is , and it got us thinking about what that means to us at KADs. For us, it’s all about community, connection, and bringing smiles to our local neighborhood.

​Our upcoming show, Lexi’s Midwife Runners, is a high-energy love letter to the NHS heroes who work tirelessly every single day to make life beautiful (and safe!) for families in their care. 🩺🏃‍♀️

Theatre has a unique way of making life beautiful - bringing people together to share laughs, tears, and unforgettable stories. 🌟✨
