Glossop Operatic and Dramatic Society

Glossop Operatic & Dramatic Society has brought entertainment and pleasure to its audiences, and performance opportunities to its members over 35 years. Rehearsal: Annie

With a reputation (and award!) for the quality of our productions the society remains very inclusive and firmly based in the people of Glossop, achieving a great audience experience along with highly enjoyable time for the cast and crew.

High Peak Borough Council has closed all public halls in the town so we are now based at Glossopdale Community College. Our residence in the school has built links and opportunities for students to extend their experience in performing arts & theatrical production and to pursue their Arts Award through our productions.

The audience comes to see the spectacular of what's on stage but there are many activities that make it all happen:

• acting, singing and dancing; as a principal or as part of the chorus
• costume design & creation
• stage management, stage crew
• scenic artistry
• props sourcing and management
• designing and rigging lighting and sound systems
• customer service through of front-of-house functions
• commercial & project management required to get a show from planning to production.

Our membership is open to all and we always welcome new members so please contact us if you think you'd like to be part of it all.

Situated in Glossop, to the east of Manchester and Stockport, GODS is in the North West Region  so has access to all the resources of the association supporting amateur dramatics.

GODS: a local society for local people from Glossop, Hadfield, Ashton, Stalybridge, Hyde, Stockport, Buxton and New Mills - and anywhere else!
