Our 2006 performance at the Rhoda McGaw Theatre
This was the “black-and-white” production of the Mikado, which was enhanced not only by the presence of the
Susan Robinson School of Ballet, but also by some
politically-slanted updates to the libretto. These would probably have been as deeply
appreciated by W.S.Gilbert himself as they were by our audiences!

KASJOG history and complete list of main productions
KASJOG was originally formed as an Adult Education evening class at the Winston
Churchill School in St Johns, Woking, as long ago as 1969. The intention then was that Gilbert and Sullivan operettas were to
be performed annually at the school. However, in due course, KASJOG became independent of Adult Education and registered as
a Charity.
