The Pirates of Penzance April 25, 2010

The Pirates of Penzance shines with the full glory of Gilbert and Sullivan at it’s hilariously swashbuckling best! A rollicking band of pirates, a bevy of giggling maidens and their “very model of a modern Major-General” father along with a dashing pirate apprentice, a fading nursemaid and a bunch of blundering policemen are the key ingredients for the charmingly ridiculous plot. Frederick, son of a wealthy 19th century man was to be apprenticed to a pilot, yet due to a hard-of-hearing nursery maid, was instead apprenticed to a pirate. His love for sweet, innocent Mabel, and his devotion to his pirate family and leave this poor “Slave of Duty” split right down the middle! Great fun, sidesplitting laughs, and bombastic vocal performances have made this a favorite of audiences worldwide for over 125 years! Penzance is directed and choreographed by Bart McHenry, with music direction of David Lamoureaux.
