About The Bethel Crowd
The Bethel Crowd AODS has been performing in and around the Westhoughton area for over 50 years.
Affordable, honest stage craft for all.
We aim to bring the love of theatre to Westhoughton and the wider Bolton community for an affordable price with good quality, entertaining and fun shows.
As a drama group that caters to a wide array of ages we want to develop the skills of all members, regardless of experience, in a safe and nurturing environment.
Having been affiliated and a part of the Westhoughton United Reformed Church for many years we still continue to promote it’s values, hence why it’s logo incorporated into ours.
