UBC’s Gilbert and Sullivan Society is putting on a Highlights of Gilbert and Sullivan combined with the one act Trial by Jury as our annual Gilbert and Sullivan performance this fall. And – excitement of excitements – Fiddler on the Roof will be our Broadway show in February of 2010.
We are currently seeking artistic teams for the two productions. As with previous years, auditions for both shows will be held in late September, and all interested parties may sign up for them during the new school year’s clubs week. (Exact dates, along with more information, will be published shortly).
Additionally, a new executive council has been elected and any updated information regarding this change this may be found under ‘contacts’.
We look forward to a fantastic year, and we hope you do too!
