Annie Dress Rehearsal: Finale & Bows
Glossop Operatic & Dramatic Society has brought entertainment and pleasure to its audiences, and performance opportunities to its members through the two shows usually produced in each of the last 32 years.
We moved out of The Victoria Hall (after it was closed to community use by High Peak Borough Council) where our last shows were A Chorus Line and Aladdin in 2006, followed by Annie in 2007. After a short period without a venue GODS moved into an exciting new period and bounced back into Glossop life with Red Riding Hood in December 2008 in Glossopdale Community College, a venue providing improved audience facilities, followed by Cinderella in 2009.
Our residence at Glossopdale is forging links with the school to our mutual benefit. We are providing support to the music and drama departments with technical equipment and expertise which in turn enhances the productions the school presents.
Our membership is open to all, and we welcome new members who would like to join us in any field of the production - from singing and dancing, to brewing tea and sweeping floors. There are many aspects involved in putting a show together, and you are welcome to join us in these. Please contact us if you are interested in joining us.
Situated in Glossop, to the east of Manchester and Stockport, GODS is in the North West Region of NODA so has access to all the resources of the national association supporting amateur dramatics.
