The Society's mandate was to give students, faculty, alumni, and the greater community an opportunity to participate in and enjoy high quality theatre productions at affordable prices. Each year the G&S Society staged a single production. From 1871 to 1889, during the Victorian age, the well-known English humorist and playwright William S. Gilbert teamed up with the English composer Arthur Sullivan to prepare witty operettas satirizing British society. The quality of both the lyrics and the music made these plays perennial favourites. Each year, Western's G&S Society staged one of the 13 famous operettas on the Western campus in London, Ontario. The 1993/1994 season marked the Society's 40th year. Francis and Deb had already made a number of key decisions: they had decided to stage H.M.S. Pinafore, one of the most popular of the operettas; they had set the ticket prices at $14 for adults, with a $2 reduction for students and seniors; they had decided to have a cast of 40; they had hired a musical director; and, in common with past practice, they planned to stage 10 evening and matinee performances in the 360-seat Talbot Theatre. The Society operated under a budget set and administered by the USC. In 1992/1993 the total budget had been $28,000 and Francis believed that the 1993/1994 budget would have to be about the same.
