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.
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!
The Society endeavours to run a programme of social events alongside the schedule of rehearsals. Preston G&S Society is one of the select set of performing companies that have made the Preston Playhouse a home and there are plenty of opportunities to get involved with the working of the Playhouse and developing it as a performing venue for Preston G&S and the other companies using the theatre.
