Kippax Amateur Operatic Society (KAOS) are one of the leading Societies within the west yorkshire region. We produce 2 professional productions a year, A pantomime in early January and a summer musical in May.

We have over 50 members of our society ranging form 3 to 80+ and all have an active involvement with the society.

The society first started in 1959 and our first major musical was Desert Song in 1963 and since then the society has grown stronger and the professionalism shines through throughout our productions.

We now are based at The Castleford Phoenix Theatre in Airedale, which is a state of the art 300 seater auditorium where we are now in our third year after performing a musical revue, Cinderella, King and I, Dick Whittington and His cat and most recently Sweet Charity.

In September we start work on our world premier “Camelot The Panto” Which is a traditional Family panto written and directed by our very own Mark Waters. This is one not to be missed
