Barnstaple Musical Comedy & Dramatic Society

We are a multi award winning amateur dramatics group based in North Devon. Come and join us... it's a great way of making friends and having fun. Everyone is welcome.

BMCDS started in the 1920's. We present an annual musical show every November at the Queen's Theatre, Barnstaple and a summer play at many local venues including the Landmark Theatre.

Our recent successes include Sunset Boulevard, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, 42nd Street, Chicago and Kinky Boots.

We invest a lot of money each year into our productions and this is reflected in the quality our audiences have come to expect from us. Our shows can cost £30,000 to £50,000 or more to stage.

We have a very large membership of all ages from 16 to 80 and have a singing group for those who perfer not to tread the boards along with a busy social side for our members.

We have a junior group called Barnstaple Young Generation for 9 - 18 year olds. They stage a musical each year in the Spring at the Queen's Theatre. Recent productions include Les Miserables and High School Musical, The Likes of Us, West Side Story, Half A Sixpence and Fame!
