.About The Savoy Singers
Affiliated to the National Operatic & Dramatic Association. Registered Charity 273603.
The Savoy Singers came into being in 1968 when a group of Gilbert & Sullivan enthusiasts living in Camberley and adjoining towns, decided to form a local society to perform the Savoy Operas – hence our title.
We are a lively society and perform two shows per year at Camberley Theatre and other local venues. Loyal to our origins, our March show is usually one of the Gilbert & Sullivan Operettas, whilst our October show is either an Operetta or a musical revue.
We rehearse on Wednesday evenings at Heatherside Community Centre from 8.00 – 10pm and principal rehearsals are usually on Thursday evenings. During the run up to a performance, full company rehearsals are often required on Sunday afternoons from 2-5pm.
Social
Social Events
We carry out a number of social events throughout the year to help raise funds for the society, but more importantly they’re a great opportunity for socialising with friends!
These events include skittles evenings, barn dances, treasure hunts and Christmas meals.
