The Connecticut Gilbert and Sullivan Society performs the comic operettas of the British musical theater duo for the entertainment of audiences drawn from the local community and for comedy lovers from across the state. CG&SS is dedicated to the preservation and enjoyment of the rich heritage of satire and melody that emerged from the unique partnership of William Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan (between 1870 and 1900). The art form they created together, which was nurtured by impresario Richard D'Oyly Carte at The Savoy Theatre, established the underpinnings which sustain the modern-day musical. Performances are in the fall, and done with professional orchestra, professional-caliber singers, choreography, costumes, and sets in the state-of-the-art theater at the Performing Arts Center, Valley Regional H.S. Deep River, CT.
