HISTORY
Established in 1922 WAODS started by performing Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, with the first being The Yeoman of the Guard. WAODS continued to produce a show every year and more recently started to produce plays alongside Musicals and in 2010 won the NODA North-West award for Best Play. WAODS has also produced regional premieres of new Musicals (Robin, Prince of Sherwood and Little Women - The Musical). In 2012 WAODS became a Registered Charity, recognising the work contributed to the local community and in 2013 received funding to help start a youth group.
The Society is run by a Committee who are responsible for the selection of shows, appointment of the production team, casting of each show, control of the show budgets as well as fulfilling our charitable duties and supporting local charities. We always welcome new members who would like to take part either on or off stage. For further information view our Join Us page. |
