PODS are a friendly amateur dramatic society based in Penarth, South Wales. We were founded in 1924. We are still going strong, so we must be doing ok!
We performs a range of plays, musicals and pantomimes, usually at The Paget Rooms in Penarth.
The society was founded in Autumn 1924. Following an advert in the Penarth Times, an unlikely and very small group gathered at the local library to make plans for the first show. They needed to persuade other like minded people to join them. They achieved just that, and Penarth Amateur Operatic Society was born! Our first musical outing was the comedy opera, "Iolanthe" by Gilbert & Sullivan in April 1925. The drama section kicked off in 1929 with "A Little Bit Of Fluff" by Walter W Ellis, marking the transition to PODS. In comparison, pantomime was a very late arrival, with "Cinderella" in 1998.
PODS is a community theatre group and local charity. Our day to day running is done by a slightly crazy but very enthusiastic bunch of volunteers. The society is overseen by our Honorary President, Mrs Mary Gardner, her hard working committee and our charity trustees. We are blessed to have talented members. They act; direct; build sets; make costumes; source props; design posters, plan makeup, deal with the finances, make our programmes, sell tickets... the list is endless.
