Crediton Operatic Society, now known as CODS, began life in 1964 with a public meeting to form a G and S Society.
The first musical production ‘HMS Pinafore’ was staged in 1965. Over 60 people were involved in that production. A great achievement for a newly formed group.
The ‘Dramatic’ bit was added in 1972 and the first play was ‘The Chalk Garden’ followed up in the same year with Noel Coward’s Hay Fever.
CODS has an online archive illustrating the work of the Society. The archive buttons below are linked to an online gallery and dates back to the first productions in the 1960’s
1000’s of photographs bring to life the work of the Society since 1965. We also have a YouTube Channel with recording of items from our shows and our concerts.
Some of the photographs are of limited quality but do show the variety of productions and will bring back memories for the many people who have been involved with CODS over the years.
