NODA is divided into eleven regions, each headed by a regional councillor who sits on the national council (the ruling body of the Association), supported by a network of regional representatives.  These one hundred and eighty volunteers are the vital link to the grass roots of the Association, the amateur theatre groups themselves.  The Association is administered from its Headquarters in Peterborough, with a knowledgeable and friendly staff able to deal with virtually any enquiry relating to amateur theatre.

There is a broad spectrum of ages involved in amateur theatre nationwide, from a burgeoning number of youth groups to adult companies which meet the needs of all levels of both performers, whether dramatic or musical and enthusiasts involved backstage, front of house or in administration.  Each production created is a genuine community event.

Long service awards are presented to members annually to recognise their contribution to Amateur Theatre over a period of years.
