Knighton Park Amateur Operatic Society (aka KPAOS, or 'Kapow' to some), performs at theatre venues around Leicestershire.

 

From Calamity Jane – the groups very first show back in 1979 – all the way through to Nativity! 2018, KPAOS is renowned in Leicester as one of the largest amateur musical theatre production companies.

 

We’ve had the privilege of taking to the stage at Curve, Haymarket Theatre, and The Little Theatre showcasing big budget shows and the best local talent. Attracting audiences from across the Midlands with popular classics and exciting modern productions, the society has become an acclaimed one known for successfully taking on challenging shows. To pull off such high profile performances, we work with esteemed creative teams, stage crews, orchestras, directors, musical directors and choreographers.

 

With this reputation behind us, many talented individuals are eager to join us at our new members auditions each year. As an inclusive and encouraging group, many of our members return year after year to take part in our shows with some even roping in friends and family members who have discovered new talents either back stage, front of house, or on stage themselves.
