NY Gilbert & Sullivan Marches into First Summer Season at City Center
America’s foremost Gilbert & Sullivan repertory ensemble, the New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players, proudly announces part 2 of “G&S Fest 2008,” a festival of Gilbert & Sullivan productions featuring an unprecedented number of shows in one season, slated for June 6 to 15th on the great stage of New York’s historic City Center (West 55th Street, between 6th and 7th Avenues).
Under the artistic and music direction of Albert Bergeret, the company has presented over 2,600 performances throughout the United States, Canada, and England. Incorporating a 25-piece orchestra, the productions feature contemporary energy while retaining a traditional respect for each of the G & S masterpieces. New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players is considered by many to be the nation’s “leading custodian of the G & S classics.”
G&S Fest 2008 will continue on June 6th with H.M.S. Pinafore, followed by encore productions of The Pirates of Penzance, The Mikado, and The Gondoliers. The NYGASP productions are performed under the baton of Albert Bergeret, who also serves as stage director.
The NYGASP productions will have costumes designed by Gail J. Wofford; lights designed by Sally Small, and scenery by Mr. Bergeret.
