SMAOS

We are ''South Manchester AOS'' (SMAOS)

Founded back in 1955, SMAOS has grown from strength to strength over the last 57 years.

We are proud to be one of the largest amateur musical theatre groups in the north west and have won a number of regional awards.
We produce a variety of shows annually from small fund-raising concerts to large scale musicals in venues in and around Manchester.

With the dedicated commitment of a wide range of people from greater manchester (and further) which include:
budding thespians, vocalists, dancers, crew, painters, builders, wardrobe, musicians and most important of all; OUR AUDIENCE,
we hope to continue entertaining the public and ourselves for many more years to come.

We are always looking for and interested to hear from people who wish to 'play their part' with us
(whatever area of the arts that may be).
If you would like to offer your services and talents please get in touch via this website.

We currently meet & rehearse at East Didsbury (usually twice a week) and perform our productions at the RNCM on
Oxford Rd in Manchester City Centre.

SMAOS present an eclectic mix of productions from the traditional and popular shows through to the new, more experimental and
lesser known musicals, this enables us to use different theatrical styles and set ups and bring a wide variety of musical theatre to the
community.
Between our productions we keep busy with our ever popular Christmas and Summer concerts.

Outside of rehearsals, the society enjoys a varied social calendar coordinated by our Social Committee who arrange
themed nights, dinner dances, talent competitions, quizzes, coffee mornings etc.

...are held at the East Didsbury Methodist Church Hall, Parrswood Road, East Didsbury, M20 5QQ.
