Well done to all that auditioned and congratulations to the those that were cast for the Back to the Past concert at the Headgate Theatre 11th June- 14th June 2025.

A massive well done to all the cast, crew and production team who put together a fabulous production of The Little Mermaid at the Mercury Theatre.  Audiences left raving at the wonderous show, but don’t just take their word for it – here are the NETG and NODA reports.

If you are 16-23 and interested in joining CO2 and the cast of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory please complete this form.  More details about the show will appear on our Casting Call page shortly.

We are excited to announce that CO2 will be producing Charlie & The Chocolate Factory in Autumn 2025 and COS will be producing Guys & Dolls in Jan/Feb 2026 at the Mercury Theatre, Colchester.

We are proud of the award/winning standards our productions achieve, and the opportunity this provides for aspiring creative partners. Would you like to get involved as a creative in either of these or any future COS/CO2 productions?

We are currently on the lookout for musical directors, directors and/or choreographers/assistant directors. If you (or someone you know) would be interested in providing the creative expertise behind our high quality productions and would like more details then please contact us with your expression of interest and a CV of any similar work you have done before if applicable, on secretary@colchesteroperaticsociety.co.uk.

More information about casting and getting involved backstage for these productions will be published on our website and social media platforms in due course.
