"The McGill Savoy Society is a non-profit, high-profile student theater group, supported by a large and active patron base, the SSMU, and its audience. We are the cast, creative team, production team, stage crew, and orchestra of the year's productions, as well as an elected executive to provide direction and manage finances. Elections are held annually, and all positions are strictly volunteer. We are a social group, and our friendships are formed through the activity of producing one or two high-profile spectacular shows per year. The main stage production is a Gilbert & Sullivan operetta, held before the winter Reading Week. The sideshow is any of a variety of music-based shows; recitals, revues or even concert versions of musicals."
