HEYWOOD AMATEUR OPERATIC AND DRAMATIC SOCIETY 

We are based in the town of Heywood in Lancashire. We have a junior section for children aged from 8 to 18 and a senior section for anyone over the age of 18. We produce two musical shows each year, one by the junior section in October and one by the senior section in March. In this way we provide access to the performing arts for children and adults with an interest in live theatre.
