The Victoria Gilbert & Sullivan Society has been dedicated to promoting arts in Victoria, producing high-quality theatre performances - especially the works of William S. Gilbert and Sir Arthur Sullivan. Since 1983, the society has presented such Victorian-era comic operas as The Pirates of Penzance and The Mikado. None of this would be possible without the hard-working volunteers who assist with such areas as props, lighting, marketing and book-keeping. The society needs an experienced donor recruitment and development officer. The volunteer should have fundraising experience, networking skills and a love of talking to people and building relationships. This is a new position, so the hours are unknown; however, the schedule will be flexible. If you can help the Gilbert & Sullivan Society continue to share great theatre with Greater Victoria, call 250-298-0644.
