Montreal West Operatic Society

The Montreal West Operatic Society is our town's very own musical theatre company.  We have been bringing full theatre productions of Gilbert and Sullivan operettas to Montreal West audiences since 1939.
We are a not-for-profit charitable organization which enables us to give charitable receipts to those who give us donations.
 
Since the early days, the MWOS has contributed to the Montreal Children's Hospital.   We raise funds annually through two fund-raising activities: carolling in the streets of Montreal West and donating the proceeds from the sale of our show programmes.
 
Rehearsals take place at the Montreal West United Church every Monday and Wednesday evening from September to May each year.
 
Our next show, The Mikado opens on April 29, 2010. 

CHORUS and LEAD ROLES are still available.
