The Compton Players are proud to launch the Ridgeway One Act Drama Festival (ROADFest) planned for 26-28 May 2027 with the possibility of moving to a full week depending on the final number of entrants.

Hosted at Arlington Arts Centre, Newbury, each group will have the chance to perform in a professional theatre to a wider audience and receive specific constructive feedback from a GODA Adjudicator at this NDFA-accredited festival.

The festival culminates on the final night when awards will be given in various categories to reward and encourage excellence in all aspects of theatre from backstage management to design, acting and directing.

This celebration of amateur theatre in West Berkshire and the surrounding areas depends on the participation of our wonderful local groups, and as such we would like to gauge interest; please let us know your thoughts or ask any questions via the link below:
