Previously known as The Vale Gilbert and Sullivan Society we staged our first production, ‘Trial by Jury’, in 1969 in the Victoria Hall, Tring. Some of the founder members who appeared in that performance nearly 50 years ago are still taking part in our shows.

In recent years we’ve moved away from a focus on Gilbert and Sullivan and have staged well-known musicals from the West End and Broadway. Wherever possible we choose productions that will involve a wide range of ages and roles that appeal to all abilities.

We stage two productions a year. In November we present a three night “fundraiser” at the Long Marston Village Hall.
This will typically be a light-hearted musical, based on a theme, written by a member of our group.

In May each year we present our major musical at the DEMBE (was Court Theatre) in Tring. Recent productions have included ‘My Fair Lady’, ‘High Society’, ‘Sound of Music’, ‘Calamity Jane’ and ‘Me & My Girl’. Rehearsals will usually be on Tuesday evenings although extra rehearsals are added in the weeks leading up to the show.
