HD&OS has been performing plays and musicals in Hertford for 93 years. Since our first production "Of Mice and Men" at the Corn Exchange in 1919 we have captivated our audiences with a wide range of theatre from hard hitting dramas and lavish musicals right through to our annual pantomimes.
HD&OS caters for all ages. There is something in our programme for everyone. We provide opportunities for everyone to get involved too - on and off stage. Those members who are aged between 9 and 17 are well looked after by our Young Idea section.
To find out more, please select an option from the menu at the top. Some of our forthcoming productions and events are listed below.
We are delighted to be able to report that we are fully cast our next production, Little Shop Of Horrors.
The drama committee have been asked to arrange a rehearsed play reading for the winning One Act original play during the All Winners Drama Festival that the Society is hosting 25th to 31st July. The reading will take place in Hertford Theatre on the morning of Saturday 30th July. We now know the play will be Thank you for Protesting.
