Gillingham Dramatic Society (G.D.S) has been operating in its current form for 33 years. Prior to that we were linked to Gillingham Parish Church with a history going back even further.

We perform one major musical and one pantomime each year. The musical is performed in October at the Central Theatre, Chatham and the pantomime over the February half term and the Brook Theatre, also in Chatham. We have just finished performing a brilliant version of the pantomime "Cinderella". For more information about this show, please visit our “What’s New?” page.

Gillingham Dramatic Society also performs ad hoc concerts and are available to hire for this purpose. We perform many of your favourite songs from all sorts of musicals. If you would like to find out more about booking us for a concert, please either call Tina Bargiggia on 01634 232526 or email us.

We are always looking out for new members – so if you are keen to try treading the boards, then why not take a look at our “Join Us” page, or call Tina, or email us for more information.

We currently have about 60 members of all ages and abilities.
