Weston Operatic Society was founded in 1908. It has performed at least one show every year since, with the exception of the War Years 1914-1920 and 1940-1947 and COVID19 2020-2022.
We now stage two full productions a year at the Playhouse Theatre in Weston super mare, which is conveniently situated in the centre of town with good parking facilities close by.
We also regularly stage various fundraising events and performances in our own beloved premises of St Jude's.
Our Youth Group, The Oppitts ranging from 8-18 years, have performed a number of productions including Cats, Bugsy Malone, Fame Jr and The Addams Family to name but a few. There is also opportunities for our youth society to perform alongside our adults on The Playhouse stage.

The roots of the Society lie deep in Weston super Mare and the local surrounding area. Some families have been members for a long time, many have newly arrived; all have enjoyed the opportunity to perform before the footlights. A few who started with us in their youth have flourished into national stars on stage, film and television.
