Phil Arevalo

Jan/21 Sat 02:00PM-05:00PM W20 3fl Mezz Lounge

Enrollment: Unlimited: No advance sign-up

This is a great opportunity to get to know Gilbert and Sullivan in a fun, low-stress environment. For seasoned fans, it's a chance to sing that role you've always wanted to in front of an enthusiastic and supportive crowd. This singthrough will include all the dialogue and a full orchestra. There is no rehearsal; it will be a sightreading "concert."

We are seeking choristers, soloists, and members of the orchestra.

About the show:

Robin Oakapple discovers he is the heir to a cursed baronetcy, doomed to commit a crime every day on pain of a horrible, agonizing death. Can he break the curse and win back the girl of his dreams? Or is he doomed to be trapped in a waking nightmare?

To apply for a role, please email gsp-ec [at] mit.edu with the subject line 'Ruddigore Singthrough' with the role(s) you are interested and a little bit about yourself (voice part, singing experience, etc.) We try to give a role to everyone who requests one, giving priority to MIT/Wellesley students.

Or just show up and sing in the chorus of bridesmaids, city gentlemen, and ghosts!

If you would like to play in the orchestra, please email your name and instrument to crossana [at] mit.edu and opusonethirtytwo [at] gmail.com by Thursday 1/19 if possible. All orchestra instruments are welcome.

Pizza will be provided.
