Welcome to WODS
A Society Built on Passion, Community and Great Theatre
WODS – the Woodmansterne Operatic & Dramatic Society – has been bringing live theatre to our community since 1976. From grand musical productions to side-splitting comedies, we pour everything we have into every performance.
We’re a friendly, welcoming group and we’re always looking for new members — whether you want to tread the boards, work backstage, or simply be part of a brilliant community.
Get on Stage
Whether it's your first audition or your fiftieth, there's a place for you in our productions. Singers, actors, dancers - all welcome.
Be Part of Something
WODS is more than a society - it's a community. Social events, friendships that last years, and the shared buzz of opening night.
Work Behind the Scenes
Not a performer? No problem. We rely on a fantastic team backstage, in the wings and front of house. Every role matters.
Another excellent production… attention to detail was obvious, the costumes, colour and overall spectacle were terrific, and everyone was fully engaged throughout.”
