Pirates of Penzance July 18, 2010

'The Pirates of Penzance' is one of Gilbert and Sullivan's best known operettas and includes some of their most memorable works: 'Poor Wandering One,' and the perennial favorite 'I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General.' The operetta follows the tale of Frederic, who in his 21st year comes to the end of his indenture with a band of pirates, decides to go after them because he detests their violent ways, falls in love with a Major-General's daughter, and then finds out he might have to stick with the pirates after all.
