What's on
As well as our flagship production in August, our members get together for a weekend to perform a concert in the spring. We also host a range of workshops and socials for current and prospective members throughout the year.
2026 season
Our 2026 summer show will be The Gondoliers, open to anyone over the age of 16.
One of Gilbert and Sullivan’s most grandiose shows, The Gondoliers will be the focus of our 2026 flagship summer programme. One week of concentrated rehearsals will take us from auditions to performances!
This intreguing political drama is set in georgeous Venice, where two Gondoliers have just been told that one of them is to succeed to the throne of the Island kingdom of Barataria. The problem is, no-one knows which brother it is!
This Gilbert & Sullivan classic truely captures the magic of Italy and contains some of Sullivan's best loved music, such as List and Learn, Try We Life Long, In a Contemplative Fashion and Take a Pair of Sparkling Eyes.
Auditions will be on Saturday 8th August 2026 at The Playhouse, Chapel-en-le-Frith.
Rehearsals: 8th - 15th August 2026 at The Playhouse, Chapel-en-le-Frith.
Performances: 15th August at The Playhouse, Chapel-en-le-Frith.

Registrations will open in early 2026.
Our spring production will be The Mikado in Concert, open to anyone over the age of 8.
The Mikado is one of Gilbert & Sullivan's best known pieces, and contains their most memorable tunes including Three Little Maids, A More Humane Mikado, A Wandring Minstral I and Here's a Howdy Do
This ambitious concert version will be rehearsed and performed on the same day, Saturday 11th April at Hathersage Memorial Hall. Registrations will open in the new year.
