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.

Our latest production of Thoroughly Modern Millie in November 2009 was extremely well-received, and played to near-capacity audiences for all of its six performances. This exciting musical has only recently been released to amateur theatre groups, and was a "first" for our Society. Our next production - Noël Coward's Bitter Sweet - will be another "first", and one we expect to be equally popular amongst theatre-goers. It will open on 20th April 2010, so book your seats early to avoid disappointment.

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.

Annual General Meeting

Our next AGM will take place on Tuesday 23rd February 2010 at Trinity Methodist Church Hall, Looms Lane, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk (), beginning at 7:30pm.
