DGASS at Buxton

We’re delighted to announce that DGASS have been invited to perform “The Jury’s Out” at the prestigious International Gilbert & Sullivan Festival at Buxton next year. As you’ll see at this link, our performance at 2.30pm on Wednesday 5 August 2026 at St John’s Church, Buxton, is sandwiched between an HMS Pinafore sing-a-long and a pre-theatre talk about The Mikado.

Our 2025 production will be adapted to a semi-staged concert version with piano(s), and we’re hoping most of the première cast will be able to reprise their performances in Derbyshire. More details later – there’ll be rehearsals after Strictly Patience in order to get us back up to speed. Meanwhile, book the date (we’ll get a chance to rehearse at the venue on the afternoon/evening before the show), and start thinking soon about transport and accommodation.

We’d love to have supporters for our show, and you’d enjoy the rest of the Festival. For example, at the Opera House there’s a performance of The Mikado on the evening of our show, and our friends from the Edinburgh G&S Society are performing Iolanthe on Monday 3 August.

General booking starts in February, but the programme is available now at this link.
