Known as the Williamsburg area's premiere Gilbert and Sullivan company, William & Mary's Sinfonicron is student-run on every level of production, from set design and construction, to direction, costuming and administration. Members come from William & Mary's three music fraternities, Delta Omicron, Phi Mu Alpha and Nu Kappa Epsilon, and the Theater Students Association. Sinfonicron produces one show every January on a three-year rotating schedule of two Gilbert and Sullivan shows and one non-Gilbert and Sullivan show.
