Welcome to the BLODS website

Welcome to The BLODS

Originally known as Bexhill Amateur Operatic Society, our very first production was The Mikado in 1933. The first performance at the new De La Warr Pavilion was ‘Princess Ida’ in 1936 and productions continued there until the Second World War brought shows to a halt. The BLODS re-appeared at the Pavilion in 1946 with ‘Iolanthe’ and continued with one show per year until 1970 when two shows became the norm. Since 1973 the average attendance at the De La Warr for each show has been over 3000. The BLODS have always endeavoured to present a high standard of musical never shirking the challenge of new shows such as ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’, ‘Copacabana’ and for Christmas 2011 a panto, Dick Whittington.

Young BLODS

BLODS also have a junior membership in the form of ‘Young BLODS’. The aim of which is to nurture our local youth talent into rising stars to join the established membership. Young BLODS is for 10 to 19 year-olds and welcomes children from all the local areas. In between Young BLODS productions workshops are held which cover all three disciplines, acting, singing and dancing. They have a fun and relaxed atmosphere so come along and join in! We have just finished a very successful production of ‘DAZZLE’ A Space-tacular. See the Young BLODS page for photos and details on how to join.
