In March each year the Bentley stage one of the shows from the G&S canon, for the last three years using the state-of-the-art Brindley Theatre in Runcorn for week long performances of their NODA nominated Ruddigore in 2006 and The Gondoliers in 2007 which received two NODA NW awards.
For 2008- Capital of Culture, both Trial by Jury and The Pirates of Penzance were staged in February and the next production, Patience, will take place in May 2009, once more at the delightful Brindley Theatre.

New members are always welcome. Rehearsals are on most Tuesdays at 8pm in Oakvale Church Hall (L13 4AD), on the corner of Broadgreen Road and Edge Lane, Liverpool. After rehearsals several members usually retire to the Childwall Abbey pub. Other social aspects of the Society include annual trips to Stratford, Gawsworth Hall and the Buxton G&S Festival.
If you would like a taste of life on the other side of the footlights then feel free to pay us a visit on a rehearsal night. Alternatively you can contact the Society using the link below. Rehearsals are well underway for Patience.
