“The Gondoliers” was performed across the Hunter Valley at locations such as Newcastle, Maitland and Scone. Proceeds from each season’s performance were donated to various charities with Maitland proceeds being given to Apex and the Newcastle seasons proceeds going to the Disabled Soldier’s Association which invested the money in the Roxy Theatre project.

 

John Laman’s Gilbert and Sullivan Company which formed in 1952 had raised more than £1000 for local charities by 1954. The Gondoliers performance consisted of a choir of forty people and a twenty piece orchestra with scenery and costumes being lent by the Theatre Royal in Sydney.
