Strathfield Musical Society (formerly Strathfield Light Opera Company) was founded in 1968. In 1988 we became Strathfield Musical Society (SMS) Inc. The change of name reflected our new incorporated status and the fact that we perform musicals as well as light opera. SMS receives no financial assistance or sponsorship from outside sources (although we are very receptive to the idea)! Our only sour
ce of income is through Show Fees (yes we actually PAY to go on stage), fund-raisers through social events and most importantly, ticket sales. Of course, not all assistance has to be financial. We gratefully acknowledge and thank all those who support us by donating their time and talents to our endeavours. SMS has been bringing quality entertainment to audiences in the Strathfield area for more than thirty years. But what you may not realise is that you could become involved too! The Society offers its members the opportunity to learn about and experience the thrill of performing. For those who do not wish to do that however, the Society also needs committed people interested in stage management/crewing, set design/construction, front of house sales, marketing, wardrobe, production design, musicians and a range of administrative tasks that go with an organisation such as this. Most importantly though, we are a family. Over the years, members have formed very close ties and associations and it is the experience of anyone who joins that they very soon find they are an integral part of a close knit group.
