The Gilbert and Sullivan Society of South Australia, established in 1937, has been a prominent figure in Adelaide’s theatre community for 85 years. While the Society is dedicated to promoting the works of Gilbert and Sullivan, it also showcases a diverse range of operettas and musicals, including popular productions like My Fair Lady, Fiddler on the Roof, and Sweeney Todd. The Society’s commitment to providing quality entertainment has earned it a reputation as one of the most successful amateur theatre companies in Adelaide.
Over the years, the Society has welcomed talented professional performers and nurtured young artists, serving as a training ground for many who have gone on to successful musical and operatic careers. The Society’s home, The Shed in Hindmarsh, has been a labor of love for its members since 1983. With a rich history of staging memorable productions and supporting emerging talent, the Gilbert and Sullivan Society of South Australia continues to captivate audiences and contribute to the vibrant arts scene in South Australia.
With a dedicated Board of Management led by President Suriya Umapathysivam, the Society remains committed to its mission of entertaining and engaging South Australians through a diverse repertoire of theatrical performances. Membership benefits, including priority access to tickets and exclusive updates, offer supporters a unique opportunity to be part of the Society’s ongoing success. As the Society looks towards the future, it invites audiences to explore its rich history, upcoming shows, and membership opportunities to experience the magic of live theatre in South Australia.
