The MIT Gilbert {\it \&} Sullivan Players are MIT's youngest theatre
group. We specialize in the works of the duo that brought
respectability to English musical theatre. The Players work on a
``major'' production each term, and a smaller work each IAP.  Members
are encouraged to move between acting, tech crew, orchestra, and
whatever else suits their fancy; as a result we all get experience in
different areas and we form an espirit de corps that crosses these
boundaries.
