Welcome to the East Midlands Region of the NODA website. The East Midlands region of NODA covers seven counties: Buckinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, and Rutland. It includes traditionally industrial cities like Leicester, Nottingham, and Derby, the new town of Milton Keynes, and the large and largely rural county of Lincolnshire.
The East Midlands region is home to a vibrant and diverse community of amateur theatre enthusiasts. Supporting hundreds of societies across Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, and Rutland, NODA East Midlands is committed to nurturing creativity, encouraging excellence, and celebrating the passion that drives local theatre.
As part of NODA’s nationwide network, the East Midlands region provides guidance, training, and recognition to help amateur performers, directors, designers, and backstage teams grow and flourish. Whether through workshops, regional awards, or society visits, NODA champions the dedication and hard work that go into every production—from intimate plays to large-scale musicals.
With a proud history and a forward-looking approach, NODA East Midlands continues to support and inspire the amateur theatre community, ensuring that the performing arts remain accessible, inclusive, and thriving across the region.
