Welcome to the M.A.D.A.O.S Website!

March and District Amateur Operatic Society was formed in 1957 and has presented a 'main' production at Easter every year since 1958.  Since 1989 the society has also performed a second annual revue style production, usually at the end of October.


Footloose has been selected as the Easter show for 2012, and Paul Tinker will make his directorial début for the society.  The show will take place in the re-built Neale-Wade Community College from 10 to 14 April 2012 and the cast list and show information are available to download below.

Performances will take place nightly at 7.30pm, with a Saturday matinée performance at 2.30pm.  Tickets are priced at £10 for all seats.  Concessions are available at £8 for all performances.  Tickets for the Director's Gala Performance on Tuesday 10th April are available for £15 and include a free souvenir programme and a glass of wine and buffet in the interval.

Tickets will be available for cast and patrons at rehearsals on 20 and 22 March 2012.

Don't forget to help raise funds for MADAOS whenever you shop online with Easy Fundraising!! 

In our pursuit of raising funds, we have registered the Society at www.easyfundraising.org.uk.  They provide a FREE service where you can shop with your favourite on line stores AT NO EXTRA COST and raise funds for MADAOS.  You still shop directly with each retailer as you would normally but simply by using the links from the easyfundraising site first, each retailer will make a cashback donation to us.

If you already shop online, why not help us at no extra cost for the purchases you would make anyway.

Further information can be found at the easy fundraising website or please ask Claire Lilley if you have any questions.


MADAOS are always keen to welcome new members to the society, and not just those who are drawn to the spotlight.  We are always keen to welcome helpers in a backstage or front of house role, so if you are a dab hand with a paintbrush, or useful with a tea urn, please get in touch using the details on our 'Contacts' page.

A plea from the MADAOS backstage co-operative! We are desperate for a more suitable workshop and storage facilities in order to continue making our own sets.  If you have some space in a dry barn, warehouse, industrial building or the like, with lighting, electricity and access to water, ideally within a five mile radius of March, please let us know (again using the details on the 'Contacts' page).  We would be happy to negotiate a rent for the use and upkeep of the space.


M.A.D.A.O.S is a member of the National Operatic and Dramatic Association (NODA). For more information on NODA and its aims please visit their website
