NODA

The National Operatic and Dramatic Association (NODA), founded in 1899, is the leading representative body for amateur theatre in the UK.  Their vision is that amateur theatre is successful and sustainable, providing a range of opportunities for people to develop their skills, and enjoy taking part, at all levels. 

Any amateur theatre society can become a member of NODA, it was founded “to protect and advance the interests of operatic and dramatic art, and of societies engaged therein”. Their membership continues with over 2,000 society members and over 1,000 individual enthusiasts staging musicals, operas, plays, concerts and pantomimes in venues ranging from the country’s leading professional theatres to village halls.

Honiton Community Theatre Company have been members of NODA for a long time now and regularly present our members with 25 year achievement awards for services to amateur theatre.

We’d like to thank NODA for their continued support of our productions.
