QDOS Entertainment plc (Qdos) is recognised within the arts and entertainment industry as one of the most successful theatrical producers in the UK. Qdos’ success can be directly attributed to the diversity and quality of the shows it produces and the experience and passion of the company’s production teams, supported by the company’s proactive and creative marketing and communications function.

At the core of Qdos’ work is its annual staging of pantomimes at number one venues around the country. The company’s 2006/07 season has twenty productions in the UK with others in Ireland and South Africa. The fact that over one and a half million people attend the company’s pantomimes annually is indicative of the quality and value for money of the productions.

Qdos also stages a continuous diary of productions throughout the year. Over the past number of years the company has produced and co-produced stage musicals and concerts tours for both the West End and Regional touring.

The directors of QDOS are Nick J Thomas, Jon Conway, Laurie Mansfield, Phil Dale, Jonathan Kiley, Paul Parnaby and Ian Wilson.
