Spalding Amateur Dramatic And Operatic Society

Spalding Amateur Dramatic And Operatic Society

Spalding Amateur Dramatic & Operatic Society of Spalding, Lincolnshire is the oldest Amateur Theatre society in England. The South Holland Centre is the current venue for performances.

History

In 1866 a group of Spalding Gentlemen formed an Amateur Society for the performance of plays, some of which must have been musical plays as accounts show charges of £5 5s 0d for an orchestra. In 1928 an Operatic Society was formed to present musical plays and the happy union of this society with the older society created SADOS as it's known today. In 1969 an urgent need for new scenery flats for the Dramatic Section led to the suggestion of a pantomime performance to raise funds.

Other Activities

Ex-members maintain the S.A.D.O.S. experiment.
