Spalding Amateur Dramatic & Operatic Society (SADOS) is a registered charity and the oldest such society in England.
SADOS promote the performance of live drama and music, especially amongst the young people in South Lincolnshire.
We pride ourselves on being an all inclusive society, with people from all walks of life. People join us for many reasons; to act, sing, help behind the scenes, or just for the social interaction and to escape their everyday lives. We welcome all ages, all races, all religions, all sexual orientations, all gender identities, all abilities and disabilities without exception. We believe in equality and diversity, and we look forward to bringing enjoyment to the local community.
Amateur
In 1870, a group of Spalding gentlemen formed an Amateur Society for the performance of plays, some of which were musical plays, featuring an orchestra.
Dramatic
In 1969 an urgent need for new scenery flats for the Dramatic Section led to the suggestion of a pantomime performance to raise funds. We are now a Registered Charity and continue to grow.
Operatic
In 1928 an Operatic Society was formed to present musical plays, and the happy union of this Society with the older one created SADOS as it is known today...
