Welcome!
Welcome to new members and prospective members of Preston Gilbert and Sullivan Society. The Society has a history of over 50 years of performing the operettas of Gilbert and Sullivan [G&S for short]. Recently the Society has produced one out of the eleven more popular G&S operettas every year in late January at venues in both Preston and Lytham. However, the Society has now moved its show dates to the first two weeks in March. There are 14 Gilbert and Sullivan operettas in total.
Are you new to G&S?
If you already love G&S you will find that performing with us, or helping in other ways to put shows and concerts on, is very, very rewarding - addictive even. If you know little or nothing about G&S, you will find a whole new world of wonderful melodic music combined with great wit, humour and good natured satire. Either way we hope that you will find that we are a great bunch of very supportive friends - almost like a family in fact! If you already see yourself as a performer, G&S is an excellent way of developing your skills. If you have not thought of yourself as a performer, you will probably be very pleasantly surprised at what you can achieve with us.
Non performing members
The Society would particularly like to encourage non-singing members to join. For historical reasons, we have rather become a group of performers, and this tends to put a great deal of pressure on our currently rather small band of helpers for prompt, costume, make up, scenery, lighting, sound, stage management, publicity, transport, ticket and programme sales, bar staffing, making brews, etc. We would really love to see you, even if you think that singing is not for you! Please send an e-mail to info@prestongass.co.uk for more information.
