Latest schedules
In case Mike didn’t get to you earlier in the week with a paper copy, you can download the Production Week Schedule at this link. Don’t forget that, if you have any problems getting to the theatre on time, the number to phone is 07525 920728!
The costume fittings and band call are at Rosyth Methodist Church (directions at this link) – use the back door from the car park and head left out of the entrance room into a corridor: the band rehearse in the hall on the left (Room 2); for costumes, head along the corridor towards the front door!
Between now and the show we still have a number of rehearsals, and not just on Wednesdays … If you have lost contact with your copy of the schedule, you can download the relevant page at this link.
Quiz Night postponed
Please note that, for reasons beyond the Committee’s control, the Quiz Night will not take place as planned on 16 January. It is hoped that this fund-raising event will be rescheduled later in the year.
Edinburgh Gondoliers
“A delightful series of twists and turns plays out to an exhilarating ending in this charming production. With a cast of over 50 under the direction of Alan Borthwick, and a full orchestra under the direction of David Lyle, this show promises to be both fun and musically beautiful.”
For children aged 6 to 12 and accompanying adults there will be a special price of £5 in the upper circle for the Saturday matinée with a pre-show talk, activity pack and juice and biscuits thrown in. Please email president@edgas.org for details.
Tickets: from £16 – £23 (concessions available) from the box office (0131 529 6000).
Iolanthe sing-along
EDGAS bring soloists and orchestra; the audience provides the chorus. Some scores will be available to borrow, and the words will be projected onto a screen. Tickets are £10 (children £5) from 0131 228 1155, or click the image to book on-line.
Photo-call and costume fittings
Everyone gets their photo in our programmes, and we’ll be re-using the ones from last year’s prize-winning Gondoliers programme. If we don’t have a suitable photo of you, you should already have had an email about the photo-call at 7.00pm next Wednesday (13 January). If you really hate the way you appeared last year, or have greatly changed in appearance since(!), feel free to email Mike and turn up on the night suitable coiffed!
The schedules for costume fittings will soon be available for you to sign up: Ladies on Thursday 18 February; Gentlemen on Friday 19 February; both at Rosyth Methodist Church (directions at this link) – use the back door from the car park.
Booking now!
G&S is entertainment for the whole family, and we’re encouraging this by having a £5 concession ticket for children, and a £30 family ticket (two adults + two children) for all performances except the Friday evening.
You can download a flier by clicking the image, find a seating plan at this link, and order tickets using this form either through members or by post. Or email Anne Dolbear, our ticket manager at ticketsales@dgass.org.uk
See you in January …
Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to bring off a very enjoyable Christmas concert. Anne says we’ve netted about £700 for the Society from our December endeavours. Hopefully a good turnout at the Quiz Night on 16 January will further help to boost the funds.
Your webmaster would like to wish all Society members a peaceful and happy Christmas and New Year, and looks forward to seeing you all when the full cast for Yeomen assembles for rehearsal on Wednesday 6 January. That’s the day Christians celebrate the arrival of the Wise Men: would our own “wise men” please remember that they have been called for 7.00pm!
Next appearance
Your next chance to see the Society on stage at Carnegie Hall, Dunfermline will be on 19–21 February 2026 in a sparkling production of Strictly Patience.
