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!

Revisit the Gondoliers

Revisit a few snapshots of The Gondoliers cast and orchestra! Performed in February 2020 at The Grand in Ellsworth, it seems a million years away. Stay safe and creative during these difficult times! See more at the photo page.
