The National Operatic and Dramatic Association

“NODA is the national body that represents amateur theatre. Any amateur theatre society can become a member of NODA. NODA was founded in 1899, “to protect and advance the interests of operatic and dramatic art, and of societies engaged therein”. The membership continues with over 2,000 society members and over 1,000 individual enthusiasts staging musicals, operas, plays, concerts and pantomimes in venues ranging from the country’s leading professional theatres to village halls.

We support and inspire amateur theatre. Our vision is that amateur theatre is successful and sustainable,providing a range of opportunities for people to develop their skills, and enjoy taking part, at all levels.”

EODS has been affiliated to NODA since 1965! We proudly belong to the West Midlands region, district 5 under the brilliant Regional Councillor Andy Brown who attends each of our shows and writes a review from our performance. On some occasions we are also lucky enough to be nominated for a NODA award.
