Cambridge University Gilbert and Sullivan Society CUGSS
The Cambridge University Gilbert and Sullivan Society typically put on three or four shows a year, including a freshers' show open to all in Michaelmas, a large scale show in Lent (at West Road Concert Hall for the foreseeable future), and a show at the 700-seat Minack Theatre on the cliffs of Cornwall in September.
Although members are welcome to participate in any single project, CUGSS is well known for its sociability, and has a strong events calendar in addition to its productions, which provides fabulous opportunities to meet lots of lovely people! To whet your appetite, these include singthroughs of shows (plus free gourmet food and drink!), movie nights, pub crawls and subsidized trips to the theatre for members. A festive Christmas party, glamorous Annual Dinner and gorgeous garden party complete the irresistible parcel!
We have also put on many shows that were not written by Gilbert or Sullivan, and welcome funding applications for other shows that would be of interest to our members.

Next is Louisa Stuart-Smith, who will be playing Peep-Bo: a performer in the "Three Little Maids" act at the theatre! She is the most world-wary of the trio, and (in her opinion) the best dancer!

Next is Harriet Spring, playing Pitti-Sing: one of the performers in the "Three Little Maids" act. When The Mikado makes a rare visit to the theatre, she helps with the plan to pretend his requests have been carried out, but does it succeed? Tickets: adcticketing.com/mikado
Next is Hope Whitehead, playing Katisha - once one of Broadway's brightest stars, has been replaced by younger performers. Her divaish and melodramatic ways have made her one of the few people able to influence the great Mikado himself...
Get tickets here: adcticketing.com/mikado
Next up is Rory Russell, playing Pooh-Bah - a member of The Mikado's gang and a secret lover of producing (though he would never admit to himself). As a result, he takes on almost every production role possible!

Next is Joe Dutton playing Ko-Ko: Costume designer at the theatre, but good fortune has also promoted him to being in charge of punishing those who do not respond to extortion...

Next is Sophie Ellis playing Yum-Yum-Lead performer in the "Three Little Maids" act at the theatre, but dreams of becoming a serious vocalist. She is engaged to her ward, Ko-Ko, but her interest seems to be with a newcomer at the theatre... adcticketing.com/mikado
