The Durham Savoyards take their name from London’s Savoy Theatre, where many of the Gilbert and Sullivan (G&S) operettas were first performed. The Savoyards have been producing the topsy-turvy musical comedies of Sir William S. Gilbert & Sir Arthur S. Sullivan in Durham, North Carolina since 1963. Our charter members (many from Duke University) included academics and “townies” alike. Read more about our history.
