What we spend the money on

Community

Everyone can take part

We believe in the power of theatre to bring communities together. Our great shows are not just there for the well-off to take part.
We keep our membership subscriptions affordable and provide financial support to people who cannot pay the full cost of membership.

Accessibility

Everyone can see our shows

We strive to make the arts accessible to everyone.
We keep ticket prices affordable, inviting diverse audiences to enjoy the beauty of Gilbert and Sullivan’s masterpieces and all our other great musicals.

Quality

The Shows

Our shows are our biggest expense. From the first rehearsal to the dress rehearsal, we cover costs for venue hire and accompanists. For the show itself, we pay for theatre hire, a live orchestra, costumes, and set, ensuring an immersive experience for our audience.

How you can help.

By being a Friend or Patron of Wolverton Gilbert and Sullivan Society, you are not just supporting the arts; you are becoming a part of the magic that unfolds on stage. Your generosity will echo through the applause, laughter, and shared moments of joy that our productions create.

To express our gratitude, we offer various donation tiers with exclusive perks, such as free programmes, our society newsletter, privileged advance booking for our shows, vouchers to spend on tickets and invitations to social events.

Karen Jones is our Friends and Patrons secretary. She will make sure you get newsletters, programme vouchers, advance booking notices, free ticket vouchers and invitations etc.
