Our Next Show
Summer Concert - Sing a rainbow
Our Summer concert will take place on the 23rd and 24th of June. 'This year's theme is Colours- in fact, every colour of the rainbow, as our title is 'Sing a Rainbow'! Chorus numbers feature some of our old favourites - Fields of Gold and Blue Moon, plus we are busy learning some new arrangements, such as The colors of my life and Strawberry fields forever. Medleys have proved very popular in the last two years so there are more of them this year, including a 'Diamonds' medley to celebrate our 60th year.' Pop a date in your diary for a great evenings entertainment.

I so enjoyed last night's rehearsal - thank you! (I obviously don't get out enough!!) A lot of good part singing and words coming over clearly. We are a third of the way through our Wednesday evening rehearsals, so well on track, although you might not agree at this stage! I will bring the rest of the Medleys next week.

About the players
History
Oundle Gilbert and Sullivan Players was formed in 1958. Our first show was 'The Pirates of Penzance' performed in 1959 and we have been entertaining audiences every year since. For some entertaining videos and pictures from past shows, please visit our gallery below.
Performances
We produce two shows a year. Our Gilbert & Sullivan Production is at the end of February/beginning March when we perform one of the many famous comedy operettas
Our Summer concert in June when we perform a variety of songs loosely based around a theme (the 2016 theme was transport, the title Transports of Delight). The songs range from pop, jazz and humorous songs to songs from musicals, with no Gilbert & Sullivan songs at all.
Rehearsals
We rehearse once a week on Wednesdays at 7:30 p.m. and provide a warm welcome to all. Rehearsals for the main show start in late August / early September. Rehearsals for the Summer concert start immediately after the Spring show, usually in March.
