The National Operatic and Dramatic
Association (NODA), founded in 1899, is the main representative
body for amateur theatre in the UK. It has a membership
of some 2500 amateur/community theatre groups and 3000 individual
enthusiasts throughout the UK, staging musicals, operas,
plays, concerts and pantomimes in a wide variety of performing
venues, ranging from the country's leading professional
theatres to village halls. Members have access to a wide
range of benefits.
NODA is divided into eleven
national Regions , each headed by an Region Councillor who sits
on the Council (the
ruling body of the Association), supported by a network of Regional
Representatives and other volunteers. These volunteers are the
vital link to the grass roots of the Association, the amateur
theatre companies themselves. The Association is administered
from its Headquarters in Peterborough, with a knowledgeable
and friendly staff able to deal with virtually any enquiry relating
to amateur theatre.
There is a broad spectrum of ages involved with amateur theatre
nationwide, from a burgeoning number of youth groups to adult
companies, which meet the needs of all levels of both performers,
whether dramatic or musical, and enthusiasts involved backstage,
front of house or in administration.
