ALUMNI FOUNDATION
GG&SS Alumni Foundation
The GG&SS Alumni Foundation was founded to support the Georgetown Gilbert & Sullivan Society. The Foundation runs The Myron and Mitchell Dale Production Fund, maintains digital archives of past show materials (including videos, photographs, and programs), supports the digital needs of both the student and alumni groups, runs the alumni merchandise store, maintains the in Memoriam Project, runs and moderates the alumni social media presence, and lends support to reunion planning committees.
​
The Foundation hopes to support a digital archive "Wiki Project" in the near future.

Dale Fund Established

September 2025
GG&SS 50ish Reunion
GG&SS celebrated 50(ish) years of existence from September 12-14, 2025, at Georgetown Law. While the actual 50th year of GG&SS was 2023, post-Covid hiccups and renovations in Hart auditorium delayed the celebration. The full-weekend event featured a revue, a traditions panel, a staged reading of a play by a local playwright, a gala, and a piano bar brunch. The event was spearheaded by a committee under the umbrella of the Alumni Foundation, with support from current students, and in coordination with Georgetown Law staff.
