We are delighted to announce that our next production will be the fabulous ‘MADE IN DAGENHAM!’

Based on a true story and based on the hit movie, ‘Made in Dagenham’ is the uplifting musical comedy about friendship, love and the importance of fighting for what is right. It takes us back to 1968 when the sewing machinists at the Ford factory in Dagenham walked out and went on strike demanding equal pay, subsequently the leading catalyst towards the passing of the Equal Pay Act in 1970.

Funny, full of energy, touching and timeless, ‘Made in Dagenham’ shows how ordinary people can do extraordinary things when they stand together! With a fantastic score and uplifting, inspirational story full of heart, it will make you laugh and cry in equal measure.

Want to be part of this fantastic production? Come along to find out more about our exciting plans at our LAUNCH EVENING on Wednesday 23 April 2025 at 8pm at CYGAMS HQ. Meet Director and Choreographer Claire Carr, and Musical Director Clare Benson, as they present their vision for the show, the production values, what to expect and the audition process. There will also be an opportunity to ask any questions you may have.

Auditions will held on Saturday 3 May 2025 and are open to anyone over 16 (except where otherwise advertised). Anyone auditioning must become a Member of CAODS prior to auditioning. An information pack including character descriptions and audition pieces will be available in due course.

Tickets will be on sale this week.
