Our annual Gilbert & Sullivan show is in October. Rehearsals for it start in early May. The whole company rehearses weekly on Wednesday evenings and then twice weekly on Wednesdays and Fridays from about September. Principals rehearse twice weekly throughout. Rehearsals start at 7.30 pm and finish about 9.45 - 10 pm. Our Spring and Summer Concerts feature mainly Gilbert & Sullivan and songs from shows. We have six to eight rehearsals for these from about late January, depending on the number and timing of the concerts.
If you want to be an acting member, you give a short audition to a small – and friendly! – committee after your first few rehearsals. You choose the piece. Once you have joined and paid your subscription as an acting member and been to at least half the Show rehearsals, you are eligible to audition for a principal part in that show if you wish. Those auditions take place about 6 weeks after the Show rehearsals start.
If you are not performing in the Show but wish to participate in the Society, you can join as a non-acting member. There are many backstage and front of house jobs that need to be done. Let us know if you have a special area of interest, or we will find you something.
The subscription in 2010-11 for both acting and non-acting members is £10.
