about bods
BODS is the ambitious hub for every aspect of amateur theatre in the Wychwoods and a convivial base for all ages. Under the mentorship of Mandyrae Jessey, participants have opportunities to engage in workshops, improvised sessions, and rehearsals. These culminate in two or three productions a year, including festivals and competitions. Our shows encompass a wide spectrum, ranging from comedy and drama to full-scale pantomimes, musicals, and large cast plays.
BODS takes performances beyond our centre and into the community, actively participating in various theatrical events, including filming. In addition to our regular productions, BODS also offers a Monday evening teaching class.
We firmly believe that taking part in theatre productions is character-building, promotes confidence, and results in a satisfying sense of accomplishment. It also contributes to valuable life skills. Join us in this exciting journey.
The Snow Queen
So many of us have grown up with the wonderful fairytales created by Hans Christian Andersen. The storylines are all about good, kindness and hope overcoming bad and evil!
The Snow Queen has now been re written as a Panto for today’s audiences.
With grateful thanks to Tina and Robert Birbidge for permission to adapt their panto for Branching out drama society.
With fantastic costumes, lots of songs and wonderful actors our fully inclusive performances will bring a ‘warm’ feeling to the coldness of January 2025!
We are looking forward to seeing you all there.
