Ends: 29 July 2010

Buxton Opera House, Buxton, SK17 6XN

The Gilbert & Sullivan Youth Festival
The company is drawn from three Bromley schools: Langley Park Girls, Ravens Wood and Langley Park Boys. This will be our second collaboration with West Wickham Operatic Society, the first being Les Miserables School Edition in July 2008 - for which a temporary 500-seat theatre was constructed in the grounds of Langley Park Girls School for 6 sell-out performances. The project was an unforgettable experience for all those involved (students, staff, WWOS members); many new friendships were formed and dreams realised.
WWOS is a musical theatre company that performs twice a year at the Churchill Theatre in bromley. Whilst the company specialises in productions such as The Producers and The Full Monty, the roots of the society are in the Savoy operas and the operettas of Ofenbach and Lehar.
John Hargreaves is head of music at Langley Park Girls School and Kevin Gauntlett is the Director of WWOS. They have worked together on many shows for WWOS, the being the Broadway version of Pirates. They are back together for what is sure to be an exciting reunion in Buxton.
