Every season audition notices are sent to 18 high schools and colleges and 30 academic departments within a 200 mile radius of Binghamton. Members of Summer Savoyards do not restrict themselves to Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. Many are regularly involved in other music and theater organizations that require ongoing skill development. Others are students in area schools. Several are college students at Binghamton University and other area colleges, and still others are members of the Tri-Cities Opera chorus and residency training program.
Contributions are tax-deductible.
Only a small number of members are offered honorariums for their work. Present funding comes from ticket sales, donations, ad sales, bake sales, raffles, corporate and grant support and voluntary membership dues. Members contribute at least one ad for our program and distribute posters and flyers advertising our performances. In addition to our ongoing local productions, we will continue our contact with the International Gilbert and Sullivan Festival , broadening our memberships' theatrical experience, thus enriching our community contribution. Summer Savoyards make themselves available for other performances in the community.
