The Stutterheim Amateur Dramatic Society (SADS) is a local society situated in the town of Stutterheim[1] in the Eastern Cape.


Friday, 17th April, 1953: The Stutterheim Amateur Dramatic Society performed entertainment in the Drill Hall as part of the Stutterheim Centenary Celebrations.

In 1969 this society mounted a production of a play called of Mary Stuart, directed by Fitz Morley and using costumes borrowed from CAPAB. It is uncertain wether this is an English translation of the German play by Schiller or the Drinkwater text.

In 1971 they got a new theatre called the Stutterheim Theatre, which was opened in December by Guy Butler, followed by a performance of Peter Ustinov's Romanoff and Juliet.

In 2016 the Society presented a musical medley entitled Be Our Guest, produced and directed by Sharon Parker, It was subtitled "A Disney and Co Extravaganza".

In 2019 they were still going strong, doing Never Enough, a musical production made up of scenes from famous musicals, produced, directed, choreographed by Sharon Parker with society members.
