Every year since 1924, the Blue Hill Troupe has produced a G&S show with three goals (not necessarily in this order): Theater, Charity and Friendship. Currently, the Troupe produces a large-scale, high-quality Gilbert & Sullivan operetta each spring, a Broadway musical each fall, and several concerts around New York City every winter. Over the years, these combined efforts have raised over three million dollars in net proceeds that are given each year to a different NYC-based charity. The Troupe originated in Blue Hill, Maine, where the Milliken family produced "Pinafore" aboard their yacht, anchored just offshore, to entertain their children, neighbors and guests. Troupe members come from all generations and all walks of life. New members, both frontstage (actors) and backstage (set, costumes, etc.), are accepted each autumn - our website has audition information under the "Members" tab. We also hold a winter ball, an annual spring outing and various entertainment and social events for members. We like to have fun together, which has led to various marriages and dozens of births. We will produce Patience on April 17-25, 2015. Information is on our website.
