We will also be entertained by some of your favorite GSA performers singing songs that made the Savoy famous.

The McAdo
2020 Grand Production
June 11 - 21, 2020 - 9 Performances
It’s the show you love, in a brand new setting! The Mikado has been moved to the highlands of Scotland and becomes The McAdo. Gilbert’s libretto and Sullivan’s score will be kept virtually intact, while the scenery and costumes will reflect the Scottish moors. It’s a farcical tale of a wand’ring minstrel, a cowardly executioner, an iron-fisted ruler, and some of the greatest songs in musical theater!
