For those that don't know yet, we have a new forum for members and friends of the society. Please pop in and introduce yourself - feel free to post new topics/discussions, and contact the administrator if you have ideas for new forum subjects.
Change of name
It has been decided to change the company's name from Gillingham Operatic and Dramatic Society (G.O.D.S) to Gillingham Dramatic Society (G.D.S.) to more accurately reflect the nature of our productions. It was felt that the word 'operatic' in our name suggested that our productions were operas! As we do not perform opera and wish to make that clear to members of the public, we have dropped this term from our name.
Next Production?
Next meeting?
We are delighted to announce that we have managed to secure Lionel Bart's "Oliver!" for our October production.
Auditions for members take place on at 7p.m. Thursday 15th May, the Brook Theatre, Chatham

Note re: Email contact address
The GODS email address has now changed due to a large amount of spam clogging the inbox. You will find a link on the bottom left of most pages on the site: this should open a window in your email if you have it open. Alternatively right-click your mouse and select 'copy shortcut' from the pop-up menu into your email address box, making sure to delete the 'mailto' prefix. (you will also be able to see the email address in your status bar at the bottom left, when you hover the mouse over the link if you wish to write it down). This may sound complicated, but I'm trying to keep this as secure as I can.
Thanks, Becky.
"Carousel" by Rodgers and Hammerstein II - performed October 11th-13th 2007
The cast had a wonderful time performing this mould-breaking Rodgers and Hammerstein II classic. With a moving story and smashing musical numbers such as "If I Loved You", "June is bustin' out all over!" and "You'll never walk alone", we really enjoyed putting this production together. Thank you to all who supported us. Click here if you would like to learn some background about Carousel.
