Shows Past
What you see below is a simple list of the shows that AOS has performed over the last fifty years or so. But that simple list hides so much hard work, so many hopes, so many nerves and triumphs.
Many hundreds of people have rehearsed and rehearsed to reach their own standard of perfection and for a few hours have become someone else. Tears have been shed and there has been so much laughter. Audiences have applauded and cheered, or occasionally been cold and ungenerous. Many of these AOS stalwarts are no longer with us, but their ghosts still walk among us, because we remember them.
Over time, we’ll add links to some of these shows with more detail of the production.
