We're thrilled and very proud to have won TWO major awards at last night's BATS Annual Dinner and Awards Night, celebrating the very best of amateur theatre in Bolton. 

Adrienne Wormald won Best Musical Director (Musicals), and the society won Best Musical, for "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". Huge congratulations to Adrienne and everyone involved in this epic production. We have so much talent at WCAODS and it's wonderful to be recognised in this way. Thank you, BATS!

We are over the moon that BATS have awarded us NINE nominations for last year's production of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"!

We are also deeply honoured that BATS have chosen to re-name one of their awards The Nora Howcroft Award for Best Director of a Musical Production in memory of our Chairman and Director who sadly passed away earlier this year. Nora would have been so proud to be remembered in this way. 

The nominations are:

We are having to close the registration of interest for Beauty and the Beast with immediate effect, due to the number of requests we have received.

A massive thank you to everyone who has registered their interest.
