Tuesdays 5pm-7pm

Astor Youth Theatre participants have this to say: ‘a great place for young people to come and have a go at acting’ ‘it has been brill!’ ‘I would love to take part in more activities like this’ ‘as well as doing drama you will make new friends’ ‘I totally recommend it!’. Come along and see for yourself, for 13-18 year olds.

Tuesdays at 7.30pm returns to the Astor on Tuesday 27th September

The main aims of the society are to produce all of the Savoy Operas at the Astor Theatre, combined with talks, events and research into all aspects of Gilbert and Sullivan. The society will be preparing for their next production "Trial by Jury" in January

All those interested in performing (singers, instrumentalists - yes we want an orchestra - and actors) and those who can help with the musicology/research side, the scenery and stage management or who are just plain nuts on Gilbert and Sullivan are invited. We are also looking for potential sponsors and patrons so if anyone has the ability to help in this way they would be most welcome too.
