Welcome to LADOS Online

On behalf of Lancaster Amateur Dramatic & Operatic Society we bid you a warm welcome to our 'foyer' on the Internet. Read all about our long history, our past productions and our latest endeavours.

We are now planning to head 'up North', way up North to the North Pole to bring Elf, The Musical to the Grand Theatre, Lancaster, from Wednesday 19th - Sunday 23rd January 2022! Evening performances Wednesday to Saturday and Matinees on Saturday and Sunday.

Based on the beloved holiday film, this hilarious fish-out-of-water comedy follows Buddy the Elf in his quest to find his true identity. This modern-day holiday classic is sure to make everyone embrace their inner elf. After all, the best way to spread Christmas Cheer is singing loud for all to hear.

Welcome Meeting for Elf The Musical will be on Thursday 5th August at the Hala Centre, Lancaster with audition preparation on Monday 12th and Thursday 15th August. Read more...

We also have some lost time to make up for having been unable to stage productions in 2020 and 2021. So in that spirit we also bring you Calendar Girls: The Musical from Tuesday 10th - Saturday 14th May 2022. Based on the play and the motion picture "Calendar Girls", this musical version is written by Gary Barlow and Tim Firth.

We can't wait to see you all - on stage, back stage, in the audience - eventually!
