About Us
Barking Music and Drama (Barking MAD) is a non-profit musical theatre group based in the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. Founded in the 1970s as Barking Operatic Workshop, it later became Barking Operatic Society and adopted the current name in 2006.
We are a registered charity (Charity No. 1120812) with a mission to promote music and amateur dramatics through education and public performance.
Our Shows
We stage 2–3 shows annually at local venues such as the Ripple Centre in Barking and the Kenneth More Theatre in Ilford.
Check our official website and Facebook for upcoming events.
Membership
Open to individuals over 16 years old, subject to a joining audition. New members are usually welcomed during the first 4 to 6 weeks of rehearsals, typically in early June and late November.
Rehearsals are held on Tuesday evenings at the Ripple Centre, Barking.
