Welcome to the Hippodrome

Welcome to the website for the Todmorden Hippodrome Theatre owned and run by the Todmorden Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Society (T.A.O.D.S.).  Situated in the Upper Calder Valley, between Manchester and Leeds, we're one of the largest community run theatres in the UK.  Here you can find information on all our events and how you can help secure the future of this wonderful 480 seat Edwardian Theatre.

Audition dates have been announced for our December play, the eternally funny, Hobson's Choice by Harold Brighouse and directed by our own comedy genius James Claxton.

Our bi-annual monologue writing competition reaches its dramatic conclusion on 28th / 29th September with the 6 finalists being performed in front of a live audience by members of T.A.O.D.S. in the Hippodrome Foyer.
