Remembering Brenda Judd

BODS members past and present will be saddened to hear that Brenda Judd passed away on 27th Dec, after a long illness, and we send our sympathy to her family and friends. She appeared in most musical productions for many years, both in the chorus and in principal roles such as Czipra in The Gypsy Baron and Dame Carruthers in The Yeomen of the Guard

Also a talented amateur photographer, Brenda took responsibility for rehearsal photos on several productions. The funeral service will be at St Michael's church Betchworth, 12 midday on Friday 24th January 2020

Tickets are now available for our May production Separate Tables by Terence Rattigan, to be performed 14-17 May. Directed by Diane Mayall and presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd.

Coming soon

Lucky Stiff - November 2025

In June we’ll be starting rehearsals and casting for the musical Lucky Stiff, to be performed 5-8 November, by arrangement with Music Theatre International

This is a joyful, life-affirming musical farce, from the same creative team as 'Seussical the Musical' -  Lynn Ahrens (book/lyrics) and Stephen Flaherty (music). Based on 'The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo', it follows the unlikely exploits of an English shoe salesman whose life is turned upside down by a cast of quirky opportunists (and a dead uncle)

Whether you’re interested in leading roles, cameos or ensemble, please come to our launch night, 3rd June 7.30pm at Betchworth Village Hall, when director Fiona Kuhn-Thompson and musical director Paul Thompson will introduce the show. Auditions are then expected to be 24th June, but as usual there will be flexibility for anyone who can't make these dates.
