Folkestone-Hythe Operatic & Dramatic Society

Founded back in 1902, the Folkestone-Hythe Operatic & Dramatic Society (FHODS) is one of the country’s oldest amateur dramatic companies.

Based at The Tower Theatre in Folkestone, which is owned and operated by FHODS, the society presents a range of amateur productions – around seven each year – including dramas, comedies, musicals and, of course, our ever-popular pantomime.

Our productions are directed and produced by keen enthusiasts who dedicate a huge amount of time to these projects, with a cast of equally committed amateur performers.  A large proportion of the technical crew and front-of-house personnel are also volunteers and they play a huge part in enabling us to give our audiences a great theatre experience.

We welcome new members to the society and anyone can get involved both on and off-stage, and front of house.  Membership details, including application form and current rates can be found here.
