ROS Musical Theatre (originally Ruislip Operatic Society) is a community theatre group from Ruislip in North West London, United Kingdom.
2023 marked a very exciting chapter for us as we celebrated our centenary year – one hundred years of musical magic.
Founded in 1923—the same year as Disney, Time Magazine, and Warner Brothers—Ruislip Operatic Society has been at the heart of musical theatre in Ruislip ever since, creating over 130 productions to date.
In 1965, the Society was chosen to perform at the official opening of the Winston Churchill Theatre in Ruislip. Later that same year, the Society became the first company to produce a full theatrical production at the brand-new entertainment venue and has continued to host their shows there ever since.
Over the years, we have performed many different styles of live performances, ranging from classics to modern musicals and music concerts. We currently produce two musicals each year. Alongside our productions, we also host various social gatherings and take part in local community events.
ROS is a member of NODA, joining a community of many other amateur dramatic societies and musical groups around the United Kingdom.
