KVODS is a friendly society based in Kingston upon Thames, performing 2 major musical theatre productions per year. New members are always welcome, both for on-stage, and back/off-stage activities. We rehearse Mondays and Wednesdays, 8pm until 10pm. Please see the links on the right for more information and forthcoming events. We also have an award winning youth group for people aged 7 – 16 years. Please see the ’Young KVODS‘ page for more details.

Don’t forget to book your tickets to Young KVODS production of Bugsy Malone which is next week – 21st to 23rd July at the Performing Arts Centre, Kingston Grammar School.

HMS ‘Starship’ Pinafore takes the traditional story of HMS Pinafore and re-imagines it for the 21st century. The ‘ship’ of the original is now a starship. the crew is now a motley collection of aliens, androids and ‘other wordly’ types.

Prepare to be beamed on board for a galactic space opera like no other….

Also showing Trial by Jury. This classic tale is given an 80s makeover, complete with shoulderpads, tantrums and Dynasty style cliffhangers.

Whether you are a G&S afficionado or new to the world of Gilbert and Sullivan, this tribute to two of their best loved works will entertain, amuse and most definitely offend…. you have been warned!

Due to material content & language the show is only recommended for those 15 years & over, there is therefore no child price ticket for this show.

We are also delighted to announce that to kick off our 70th anniversary year in 2013 we have decided to perform a play. We are thrilled to say we have been granted the rights to perform Calendar Girls. This wonderful play is on limited release for 12 months from 1 Sep 2012 and is currently on tour in the UK. A very British story, with a very British heart, the play is based on an uplifting and very inspiring true story that is quirky, poignant and hilarious. Our production will take place in Jan 2013. We will of course also be offering 2 great musicals in 2013 for the adult company.
 
Here is to the next couple of years!!
