About BOS
Formed in 1910, the Society has, with occasional interruptions such as wartime, presented productions every year. Since the late 1980s their number has increased from one to two - and even three - per year.Our early years covered mostly G and S but even by the late 1920s the repertoire was being extended. In recent years we have covered a very wide variety of music, featuring Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and Ivor Novello and others, together with critically acclaimed performances of Fiddler on the Roof, Me and My Girl, Cowardy Custard and Oklahoma!
A strong element of our work comprises shows compiled and directed by our own Members and this is currently continuing. We are fortunate in having faithful audiences, together with strong groups of Friends, Financial Supporters and Corporate Sponsors. We have close relations (and some members in common) with the Beaconsfield Theatre Group , the Amersham Playgoers, WYSPAS and Fourways drama and we are able to contribute to Community facilities, such as the Curzon Centre, where we hold our shows, and to activities such as the annual Festival of Lights at Christmas, while our Carol Singing (for charity) continues to bend the ears and empty the pockets of customers at local restaurants and hostelries - even if they do pay us just to go away!
Rehearsals are usually at 8pm on Mondays and Thursdays in the United Reform Church Hall in the heart of old Beaconsfield.
We currently stage 2 shows each year; one before Easter and the other in Mid October.
Our members are lively, dedicated and dynamic and always welcome newcomers. We nearly always go to the pub after rehearsals so there's a lively social scene which, after all, is all part of belonging to an amateur dramatic society!
Membership
BOS always welcomes new members of all ages.
New members are asked to perform a simple audition consisting of singing and reading a short passage.
BOS also welcomes non‐performing members who want to get involved with all aspects of producing shows including stage management, lighting, Front of house and general activities.
If you're interested why not come and visit one of our rehearsals - Mondays and Thursdays at the URC Hall, Beaconsfield or email joe@bosopera.com
