Chingford Amateur Dramatic and Operatic Society

The home of community theatre in Chingford

Hello! We're Chingford's friendliest (and longest-running) amateur dramatics society.

Looking for a fun, welcoming bunch of people who get a buzz from putting on great shows? You're in the right place!

Based in Chingford, CADOS has been entertaining the people of Waltham Forest, Essex and beyond for more than 75 years.

We're a diverse group, united by an interest in amateur dramatics. We perform 2-3 musicals or plays a year. Whatever the show, the camaraderie and friendship always shine through!

Could you be part of the CADOS family?

What I took away from 'The Diary of Anne Frank' tonight was indescribable. I don't think I have seen such a tight performance with such a crackle in any theatre I have ever been to. It was mind-blowingly good. The standard of acting is something to be extremely proud of.

You should all be proud of 'Made in Dagenham'. The biggest compliment I can pay is that the audience would never have known that Covid got in the way. We saw a fun, meaningful musical with a great local story performed with warmth, camaraderie and passion.

Paul Daynes, NODA reviewer

CADOS are an extremely welcoming community. I've found a fantastic group of individuals who I class as friends. We are like a family. If you're thinking of joining, do it! Being part of CADOS has increased my confidence and I've already taken on roles I couldn’t have imagined.
