The Gilbert and Sullivan Society of Houston

About The Gilbert and Sullivan Society of Houston

The Gilbert & Sullivan Society of Houston is a non-profit, volunteer-based theater company dedicated since 1952 to preserving and sharing the delightful legacy of Gilbert and Sullivan's classic operas. The primary and constant goal of the Society is to provide top-notch live-theater productions, in the true spirit of family entertainment, at a price that families can afford.

The Society has long been widely recognized as a pre-eminent community-based theater company, receiving an Emmy-nomination for its 1974 PBS televised production of PRINCESS IDA and six “Best of Festival” awards, including International Champions at the 2004 International Gilbert & Sullivan Festival in Buxton, England. The nominations and awards received by the Society over its three successful trips to the Festival in Buxton make it the most honored American Society ever to attend the event. The Society showcases talent ranging from the age of 18 to 71.

The Society caters to youth in the industry and has awarded over 100 scholarships to vocal performance and theatre tech students and provides a bank of tickets to less-privileged children in the Houston area. The Society participated in the inaugural seasons of both Jones Hall for the Performing Arts in 1966 and Wortham Theater Center in 1987 and has established itself as the oldest continuously operating opera company in Houston.

Become a card-carrying member of the Society for only a $15 annual fee! (And yes, you actually get a card!) Proceeds from memberships help the Society cover the costs of the annual productions.
