KDC Awards Night and End of Year Celebration

Get Tickets

We’re holding the first annual KDC Awards Night on Saturday 23 July, 8pm. We’ll be handing out awards, getting together with casts from the past year, and having a good old time. 

Bored of the same-old standard awards categories? Us too. Rather than best actor, best director etc, we’re opting for awards that recognise some great moments in each show from the past year. We’ll be sharing more details and how to cast your votes in the week of the event.

If you’ve been involved in – or have seen – a KDC show in the last year, come along to cheer on the nominees as we celebrate a fabulous time spent making some great theatre together.

“What would you do if I died?”

In the midst of all the silly questions couples ask themselves,
sometimes a serious one will settle, and take root.
What if we could answer the unanswerable?

A new comedic play exploring the frivolous glory of relationships,
the devastating grief of loss, and the healing power of support.

Devised & written by the cast and director.

Performance 5-9 April, tickets here!

Intro to Improv

We’re very pleased to announce the latest in our Building Blocks series of workshops – Introduction to Improv. Run by our very own Jess Rogers, it’s an 8 week course covering all the basics, which you’ll be developing along with a small group. If you’ve ever wanted to get into improvisation, or want to brush up on your skills again, or just to play (I think of it as the theatrical equivalent of a musical jam session…), this is for you. You don’t need any previous experience, of course.

All the details are here, with email address for signing up.

Auditions for spring season shows

Auditions for the shows continue on Thursday 27th – see audition information for details
