The MIT Gilbert & Sullivan Players

Hello MITG&SP! Thought some of you might like this. It's a Doctor Who fanfiction that explores a throwaway reference to the Doctor having stolen his coat from Gilbert and Sullivan. Enjoy!

Would anyone be willing to post the SG cast list? I'm dying to know who's in it, and there haven't been cast lists posted to the MITG&SP web site for years. :-}

Hey, MITG&SPers: theatreatfirst is looking for musicians for a concert production of an original musical, Never After, to be performed in late September at the Somerville Theatre. If you know anyone who might be interested, please point them that way!

Dear MITG&SP People:

I am organizing an ensemble to sing at Sheldon Brown's memorial service on Sunday, March 2nd, beginning at 1:30pm. The service is at the First Unitarian Society of Newton, on Watertown St. in West Newton. I'm not sure about bus service on Sunday.

I would love to do "Eagle High" from Utopia Ltd. for a couple of reasons. King Paramount is a role for which I think Sheldon will be remembered, and he always had an eagle on his bicycle helmet.

Please email me if you are interested in singing. There's already a delegation going from Sudbury Savoyards.

sing-through event with the New Engladd Gilbert and Sullivan Society,
to take place at 2:00pm on Saturday, December 9 in Twenty Chimneys,

We'll be singing through act finales from several of our favorite
shows. Below you'll find information about the roles in each of these
finales, some useful tips, and how to apply. If you'd like to join in
and sing the chorus part, an application is not necessary, but we'd
appreciate an RSVP for purposes of determining how much food to
supply. Send any replies to the gsp ec board. If you don't know the address, visit
web.mit.edu/gsp and use our webform to contact us.

In brief:

What? MITG&SP/NEGASS Act Finale Sing-Through!
When? Saturday, 12/9/2006, 2pm until we're done
Where? Twenty Chimneys, 3rd floor MIT Student Center (MIT building
W20)
Food? Lots of it, all for you.

I have a suggestion for future MITG&SP shows. I think someone on the prodstaff should be responsible for buying a bottle of the tasty chewable Vitamin C tablets they sell at CVS (I recommend citrus flavored). That bottle should be distributed amongst the cast during the last few weeks of the production. It might fend off colds and flus that would otherwise prevent the cast from being able to sing during the shows...

[Thought this might be of interest...]

The MIT Folk Dance Club is holding a Victorian Ball on Sunday October 22, 2006, from 7:30 to 10:30 pm. Music will be provided by the band "Spare Parts".

The location is MIT's Walker Memorial: Morss Hall, 142 Memorial Drive, Cambridge MA (at the corner of Ames Street, just east of the main MIT classroom buildings).

We will dance waltzes, polkas, and other easy Victorian couple and set dances.

Admission is free! Donations are welcome. Bring a snack or dessert if you wish.

Period or creative dress is encouraged (but not required). No partner is necessary.

For a map of the venue, see http://whereis.mit.edu/map-jpg?sel…
Free parking is available on nearby streets, or in MIT's East Lot on Main Street east of Vassar.

(The Sunday night MIT international folk dance will also occur as usual that night.)
