Membership
Rehearsals
Rehearsals are held twice a week, from 7:45pm - 10:00pm on Mondays and Thursdays in the Redbridge Area. We also rehearse on some Sundays in the lead-up to a show.
​
New Members’ Auditions
We hold new members' auditions on a rehearsal night (Monday or Thursday) usually immediately following a Production to enable new Members to join right at the start of rehearsals. However you are welcome to apply to join at any time. Potential new Members will be asked to perform a song in front of a small panel of the IODS committee. The song should be a Musical Theatre song of your own choice and should something to suit your voice and that shows off your personality. We have an aux cable / bluetooth speaker available (we will, on occasion, have an accompanist available). Anyone wishing to join as a dancer will still be required to sing but should also prepare a short dance routine.

Since 2022, we have begun performing Musicals and Plays at The Redbridge Drama Centre in South Woodford.
We aim to stage two productions a year. A Musical in the Spring (April / May) and a Play in the Autumn (November) each year. Each show has its own Show Participation Fee (which you can see above in the Annual Subscriptions section).
If you have any further questions, would like to audition, or even attend a rehearsal to see us in action, then please get in touch.
Hope to hear from you soon!
