What’s On

An evening of musical entertainment by one of the Midlands leading brass bands. PLaying a variety of music to suit all tastes.

Six amateur drama groups from Leicestershire and Warwickshire perform different one-act plays over two sessions as they compete to reach the semi-final of the drama world equivalent of the F.A. Cup.

After being critiqued and judged by Chris Jaeger MBE GoDA, the evening session will also reveal which plays have gained one of the coveted spots in the next round.

The music of the Eagles is timeless and has influenced many artists over the past 45 years.

It does not easily fit into any category yet within it you can hear a subtle blend of pop, rock, country and a style all of their own. It is played with consummate precision and layered with superb vocal harmonies. To contemplate a tribute show to a band of this calibre and with such a legacy of songs, is a daunting task indeed. Yet this is exactly what “West Coast Eagles” have done.

The love of great music, musicianship, fabulous harmony vocals and a sheer enjoyment of playing. Have been bought together in one package. West Coast Eagles.

Sit back, “take it easy” feel the warmth of a “Tequila Sunrise” and the cool wind in your hair.

The Undoing of Polly Button is a new folk-opera written by Katherine Fear. It is a musical retelling of the tragic life of Mary Green a Nuneaton resident, inspired by the 2019 publication of a book of the same name by local author Stephen Moore.

Join NAODS as we celebrate our 100 Year Anniversary with The Sound of Music. Based on the true story of the Van Trapp Family Singers, The Sound of Music tells the tale of the postulant Maria Rainer whose free spirit has trouble fitting into the rules and regulations of Nonnberg Abbey. Commissioned by the Mother Abbess to serve as the governess for seven motherless children, Maria transforms the Von Trapp fmaily home from a place of dour rules and regulations to one filled with joy, with laughter, and with music.

The spirited, romantic and beloved musical story of Maria and the Von Trapp Family will once again thrill you with its Tony, Grammy and Academy Award winning Best Score, including "My Favorite Things", "Do-Re-Mi", "Climb Ev'ry Mountain", "Edelweiss" and the title song.

The Sound of Music features music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, book by Howard Liundsay and Russel Crouse, suggested by "The Trapp Family Singers" by Maria Augusta Trapp.

A rare opportunity to see the Hollywood classic adapted for the stage.

Don Lockwood is a silent film star with humble roots as a musician, dancer and stunt man. Don barely tolerates his vapid leading lady, Lina Lamont, who is convinced that their screen romance is real, although Don tries to tell her otherwise. After the first talking picture, The Jazz Singer, proves to be a smash hit, the head of the studio, R. F. Simpson, decides he has no choice but to convert the new Lockwood and Lamont film, The Dueling Cavalier, into a talkie. The production is beset with difficulties, by far the worst being Lina's comically grating voice.

After a disastrous test screening, Don's best friend, Cosmo Brown, comes up with the idea to overdub Lina's voice and they convince Simpson to turn The Dueling Cavalier into The Dancing Cavalier, a musical comedy film. Meanwhile, Don falls in love with an aspiring actress, Kathy Selden, who is providing the voice for Lina. When Lina finds out, she is furious and does everything possible to sabotage the romance.
