HMOS (Hinchley Manor Operatic Society)
Report SocietyHinchley Manor Operatic Society was founded in 1949 by a small band of employees of the Milk Marketing Board in Thames Ditton, Surrey. They had been enthusiastic members of the Milk Marketing Board’s Theatrical Group, which was disbanded early in that year, a victim of post war austerity.
Two of the founders of HMOS, Peter and Joyce Tatlow, maintained their enthusiasm for the theatre, ignored the austerity and following the demise of the Milk Marketing Board Group, went on to form Hinchley Manor Operatic Society (also known as HMOS Theatre Company) in the same year. After a period of rehearsals, the new Society performed Gilbert and Sullivan’s Iolanthe as its inaugural production, at the Thames Ditton Village Hall, now known as The Vera Fletcher Hall, on March 14th 1950.
The society has gone from strength to strength over the last 70 years and has produced and performed a diverse array of shows, from the traditional Gilbert and Sullivan operettas in the early days, to modern day musical theatre successes such as Calendar Girls, We Will Rock You, Chess, The Wedding Singer, Fiddler On The Roof, Sister Act, Legally Blonde and The Sound Of Music at theatres such as The Epsom Playhouse, Hampton Hill Theatre, The Vera Fletcher Hall and The Adrian Mann Theatre.
HMOS has a mixed membership age range and is based in Surbiton. We rehearse on Monday evenings at Surbiton Hill Methodist Church, 39 Ewell Road, Surbiton, Surrey. KT6 6AF and perform two shows a year. We always welcome new members to perform on stage or to help backstage. If you are you are interested in joining us, please do get in touch!
