About the Players

Formed on 29 February 1988, the MIT Gilbert & Sullivan Players is a volunteer group of students and non-students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Cambridge, MA) that performs the works of Sir William S. Gilbert and/or Sir Arthur Sullivan. MITG&SP occasionally performs other works, usually with some connection to Gilbert and Sullivan or the Victorian era.

Here's a state of things!
 updated August 2018
 
The MIT Gilbert and Sullivan Players are currently in a period of transition.
 
Student members of the group plan to produce light opera performances under the auspices of the MIT Musical Theatre Guild.
 
The nonstudent MITG&SP community is spinning off as the independent Savoyards of Boston. (Although, students are still very welcome.)
 
Please contact us for more information.
 
Nothing venture, nothing win.
We hope to see you soon!

The Savoyards of Boston present:

Gilbert and Sullivan’s Trial by Jury

Friday, November 21 2025 at 7:00pm

In collaboration with the St. Ignatius Concert Series

28 Commonwealth Ave, Chestnut Hill MA (Boston College MBTA stop)
 

Greetings Concert Lovers!

 

As we brace the changing season and the cold to come, let us warm your hearts and spirits with Gilbert and Sullivan’s Trial by Jury, a comic operetta that, in true G&S fashion, is just downright absurd!
 
 
 

Who will be proven guilty in a breach of marriage contract between the Plaintiff and the Defendant? Only the “learned” Judge can make the verdict, with the insight of the COMPLETELY UNBIASED Jury of course! This is sure to be a raucous and rambunctious evening with incredible musical performances from local Boston musicians!

Not only will this be the first fully-staged production in the history of the Concert Series, but it will also be our first time collborating with the Savoyards of Boston. Founded in 2018, the Savoyards of Boston performs and promotes community theater, especially the works of W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan, in the Boston area. They aim to be an easily accessible artistic outlet for musical and theatrical community members of all walks of life, and provide opportunities for community members of diverse skill levels to have fun while developing talents and skills.

Like all of our concerts, this concert is free to attend (with a suggested $20 donation). You can let us know that you’re attending by clicking the button below and registering at our Eventbrite! It helps us so much to know not only who is coming, but what sort of concerts YOU are interested in!
