"The largest musical theatre group on the continent."
The Society was founded in 1971 by a small group of musical theatre enthusiasts and now has over 450 members. Our productions are mostly in English, although our membership hails from many countries. While we are an amateur group, some of our members have played in the professional theatre, which helps us to present a high level of performance in our singing, dancing and acting. We put on three major stage productions each year at theatres in or near Geneva:
ten performances of a winter production in the month before Christmas, usually a traditional English pantomime, for children of all ages;
- five or more performances of an operetta or musical comedy, usually with full orchestra, in March or April
- a summer show in June, such as a Music Hall, cabaret or revue, with about six performances.
