Welcome to Bury St Edmunds Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society

Bury St Edmunds Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society is one of the oldest amateur operatic and dramatic societies in East Anglia, having celebrated its centenary in 2003.

With the popular tunes from our latest production of Bitter Sweet still ringing in our ears, we're already looking towards our next one, Carousel, due to open in Otober 2010 at the Bury St Edmunds Theatre Royal. Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals are always popular, so make sure that you book early to avoid disappointment!

If you'd like to be in this production, why not audition for a role? We're having the first runs-through on Monday and Tuesday 10th and 11th May, and again the following week 17th and 18th when we'll be focussing on the audition pieces. The auditions themselves are on Monday 24th for principals and Tuesday 25th for chorus. All these meetings will take place at Trinity Methodist Church Hall, Looms Lane, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk (), beginning at 7:30pm. Please see our Carousel page for more details.

We're pleased and proud to announce that we've been granted the rights to perform Disney's Beauty and The Beast. This fantastic new stage musical will be presented in Spring 2011 in place of Patience, which has been postponed until the Autumn of that year. You know the songs - now come and see the musical!

The Society is pleased to be able to offer an award to two promising young people about to embark on a full-time course of study in the performing arts. Details of how to apply can be found on the Alan Holt Award page of this site.

If you'd like to become a member of BSEAODS, or even if you just fancy coming along to a rehearsal to see what happens, please feel free to or call us on . More details can be found on the join the society page.
