Ruddigore 2025
The cast of GSSME’s 2025 show has been hard at work preparing for our March performances!
This cast includes Christien Breau as young Robin Oakapple, Rogan Winch as his foster brother Richard Dauntless, and Aidan Pasha as Sir Despard Murgatroyd of Ruddigore. Will Robin marry his love, Rose Maybud (Alexandria Winch), or will they be stopped by Sir Despard? Will Despard marry Rose, or will he return to his beloved Mad Margaret (Sara Phillips)? Will young Robin remain in Basingstoke, or be whisked away with his faithful servant Old Adam Goodheart (Daniel Clement)?
With a full troupe of professional bridesmaids, led by Zorah (Sonia Berghoff) and Ruth (Olivia LaSalle), excitedly waiting for the next village wedding, and Dame Hannah (Deb Hangge) guiding their way, we see many classic Gilbert and Sullivan tropes come to pass. Will Dame Hannah truly have a life of eternal maidenhood, or will someone overpower her everlasting love for Sir Roderick Murgatroyd (Roland Dube)?
Come see Ruddigore this March at the Grand in Ellsworth to find out!
Announcing the 2024/2025 Lee Patterson Classical Vocal Scholarship Recipients!
