Welcome to the TEPOS Music Box website.

We rehearse at Charlton House in South East London and perform at The Bob Hope Theatre in Eltham and at other venues in and around Eltham and Bexleyheath. Please visit our "new shows" page for details of our forthcoming shows.

A little history ...

In 1937, the Society (Woolwich Polytechnic Operatic Society) began rehearsals for its show "The Gondoliers", which was staged in 1938 at the Polytechnic Hall in Woolwich. During the war years it was difficult to produce a show, but the Society did manage to perform "The Mikado" in 1940, "Patience" in 1943, followed by "Iolanthe" in 1945. In 1946 when "Pirates of the Penzance" was performed, the show was seen by over 4,000 people! Obviously, Gilbert & Sullivan was as popular then as it is now. Because of our roots with G&S, we felt it appropriate to celebrate our Diamond Jubilee year in 1997 with a firm favourite, "Princess Ida". When Woolwich Polytechnic became Thames Polytechnic, our name changed - hence the T(E)POS acronym! TEPOS Music Box was formed (from Thames Operatics Society) in 2007.

Lately, we have performed "Me and My Girl", "Carousel", "The Baker's Wife" and "Blitz!". Use this link to see a list of our previous shows.

As TEPOS Music Box, we continue to support the work of the Bexley & Greenwich Cottage Hospice. Use this link to find out more.
