The archive buttons on the side of the page are linked to an online gallery. Over 1000 photographs bring to life the work of the Society since 1965. Some of the photographs are of limited quality but do show the variety of productions and will bring back memories for the many people who have been involved with CODS over the years.
If you have any material that you would like to be included in the 'online archive' please
advise using the 'Contact us ' button.
Crediton Operatic Society began life in 1964.
The 'Dramatic' bit was added in 1972.The first musical production 'HMS Pinafore' was staged in 1965. The first play was 'The Chalk Garden' and was performed in 1972.
Everything has to be transported and constructed at either of these halls, and of course, cleared away afterwards!
The transformation of the location and the quality of the productions in them, successfully transport our audiences out of the 'school hall' environment to the appropriate location of the action taking place.
Over the years a hallmark of the society has been the hard work of the people who enable the productions to be staged.
Please contact us if you have any item you would like to share with current CODS membership and all those who were once in the society in years gone by. With your permission we would like to include your memory on our Message Board.
Just click... 'Get in touch'... and type away!
Some of the early CODS musicals were performed at QECC Lower school in the February half term. Everything went in on the Friday night, was set up on the Saturday. Dress and tech was on the Sunday. (The tech often finishing in the early hours!)
The show opened on the Monday.
