HAODS was
formed in 1922 and each year
The Kenton Theatre is a Regency gem, opened in 1805, set in the heart of Henley-on-Thames. The fourth oldest working theatre in the country, the Kenton’s two hundred and thirty four seat auditorium has a warm, friendly and cosy intimacy that makes it a perfect performance space for both HAODS's large scale We are fortunate to own the well-equipped Green Room, behind the Kenton, which is where we hold our rehearsals and social events; our extensive wardrobe is also stored there, in a recently built extension. Rehearsals usually take place three nights a week for large productions, which increase to Sunday rehearsals closer to the production date. Readings and our auditions are generally open to all. If you are a non-member and are fortunate enough to be cast in a show, you will be required to join as a performing member. New members are always welcome – whether as budding actors, or to help backstage with set building, costumes or props – or maybe just as a supporter to enjoy the social functions. Drop into one of our Coffee Mornings, Club Room Lunches or come and see a production. You will have the warmest of welcomes and the best of times if you stay! Click here to Join Us.

Strange request i realise! I am on the hunt for a father Christmas - I am organising the Henley NCT Christmas Party and as part of this 'father Christmas' is coming to hand out gifts. My husband was going to do it but it now looks as though he has a meeting on that day (the 11th December). Do you have any members that resemble Father Christmas that might like to spend alf an hour handing out toys? Also do you happen to have a Father Christmas suit?
Many thanks foe your help!
Kind regards
