Gosforth Trinity Musical Society (formerly the Gosforth Presbyterian Musical Society and the Gosforth United Reformed Church Musical Society) was formed in 1929, and has produced at least one show a year since then (excepting the war years 1940-1944).

We produce two shows a year: a main show in April, which is fully staged and costumed, with a full orchestra, and a smaller concert in November. We rehearse from September until April, with the chorus meeting on Monday nights from 7.30 - 9.30pm, with a tea break in the middle! Principals have additional rehearsals on Wednesday nights, also 7.30 - 9.30pm. Currently, we rehearse at the Christian Community Centre on Freeman Road (down the hill from the Freeman Hospital). Our main show will be in the new theatre at the Royal Grammar School in Jesmond, while our concerts have been presented at a number of different venues in Gosforth and Forest Hall.

As you can see from the list of previous productions, we have largely produced Gilbert & Sullivan operas as our main show, although tending to diversify in our annual concerts. As a consequence of a concert of Edwardian Musicals in 1996, we have recently presented  The Arcadians, The Geisha and The Quaker Girl.
