New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players History
The New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players (NYGASP) was founded in 1974, establishing itself as one of the premier professional companies dedicated to the works of W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan. The troupe emerged from a tradition of light operas and comic operettas that had begun in the late 19th century. Their mission has been to keep the spirit of Gilbert and Sullivan alive, performing classic works such as 'The Mikado', 'Pirates of Penzance', and 'H.M.S. Pinafore' with fidelity to the original scores while infusing modern humor and cultural relevance. Over the decades, NYGASP has garnered acclaim for its energetic performances, innovative staging, and commitment to maintaining the integrity of the original compositions. The company has toured extensively, performing in various venues across the United States, and has contributed significantly to the revival of interest in Gilbert and Sullivan operettas.
