New York Gilbert and Sullivan Players

New York Gilbert and Sullivan Players (NYGASP) is a professional repertory theatre company, based in New York City, that has specialized in the comic operas of Gilbert and Sullivan for more than 50 years. It performs an annual season in New York City and tours throughout the year in North America. Its founding Artistic Director is Albert Bergeret, who now has an emeritus role.

Beginning in New York City in 1974 by performing the Savoy operas with piano accompaniment, the company hired its first orchestra in 1979 for its seasons each year at Symphony Space theatre in Manhattan. The company was fully professional by the 1980s and began touring, presenting its full-scale productions at such venues as Wolf Trap in Virginia, as well as its New York seasons. In 2002, NYGASP first rented the 2,750-seat New York City Center, where it performed most of its annual New York seasons until 2013, after which it has used other Manhattan theatres, including Hunter College's Sylvia and Danny Kaye Playhouse. It has performed several times at the International Gilbert and Sullivan Festival. NYGASP also gives performances and workshops at schools and offers smaller touring groups and cabaret performances.
