About The Sudbury Savoyards

• We perform Gilbert and Sullivan comic operas.
• Each spring we present one G&S production.
• Each summer, we present a comic play.
• We present theatre on a grand scale in a 900-seat auditorium at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School, utilizing full sets, lights, costumes, and orchestra. Our productions often put as many as 65 people on the stage and 30 in the orchestra pit, with another 60 people involved in backstage or off-stage work.
• No auditions are required for the chorus .
• Our organization believes that, in community theater, the "community" part and the "theater" part are equally important.
• We are a 100% volunteer organization. None of the over 150 people involved each year in our production receives any financial compensation.
• All proceeds are donated to the Sudbury United Methodist Committee for the relief of world hunger.

A key feature of the Sudbury Savoyards is its large chorus. During our rehearsal season, which begins in November and runs until our production in February, the chorus rehearses almost every Monday, with Friday rehearsals added beginning in January. There are additional rehearsals on the Sunday afternoon two weeks before the show, and most of the week right before opening night.

Rehearsals are held at Hawes Hall, Sudbury United Methodist Church, 251 Old Sudbury Road (Route 27), in Sudbury Center. Rehearsals start promptly at 7:30 pm and run until about 10:00 or 10:15 pm.
