Adult Program

Gilbert & Sullivan Workshop

Each summer the G&S Workshop singers, actors and crew perform one of Gilbert & Sullivan’s classic operettas, fully staged at von der Mehden recital hall before near-sellout audiences in August.

Rehearsals begin in May or June, and auditions for lead roles are held in late April and early May. Call the Community School of the Arts for more details about next summer’s production.
