Truro Amateur Operatic & Dramatic Society (TOADS) were one of the most prolific theatrical users of City Hall. Hiring the space on an annual basis over many years, the society would put on a new play or musical every year. Sets would be hired in or built in part for the production. Costumes were lovingly made by the families of performers and sometimes come as part of the set hire. TOADS now has its home at its very own Redannick Theatre, Truro, where the society continue to perform for the loyal local community on a regular basis.
The Carousel chorus stand in the background watching a soloist dance in the foreground. Costumes are in a style reminiscent of the American Mid-West of the early 20th Century.
Those prepared to look beneath the surface, may well be rewarded to find in Carousel, the most thoughtfully moral musical of the century’. TOADS production of Carousel was performed at City Hall between November 10th-15th 1958. Production and Chreography was by Mavis Ward, Musical Director was by G. Trehane Collins, Ballet Mistress Vera Gatley and Chorus Mistress, Gladys Hiley.
