Andrew Gore, Emma Hopkins, Collette McHugh, Kelvin Bigwood, Alyson Chandler, Timothy Tankersley, Mikayla Dooney and Helen Williams are the actors in Phillips' comedy.
Tankersley said ADH had to halt Death and Taxes' rehearsals five weeks from performance when Covid-19 hit.
"It has been great to get back into our play and head towards entertaining our community again.
"ADG have been performing in Ashhurst for almost 50 years. We are local amateurs having fun together and with our community.
"A majority of our members come from Ashhurst and a few from Palmerston North with varying experience from many years through to first time on stage.
"We often describe ADG as a family and enjoy growing friendships as we learn to take on various roles and functions within each performance."
Tankersley said ADG lighting guru Max Wheatley grew up in the drama group many years ago where he met his wife Cheryl backstage.
"They both love the buzz of putting on a play and hearing the joy of an audiences response."
Tankersley thanked the Ashhurst School for the many years partnership in presenting performances to the local community in the school's hall.
The ADG is not-for-profit and a part of the Ashhurst Community Trust.
