Book and Lyrics by W. S. Gilbert • Music by Arthur Sullivan
Directed by Cassie Abate

A shipload of sentimental pirates, a gaggle of giggling maidens, and a band of bumbling policemen bring fun and sparkle to one of the most charmingly silly operettas ever to grace the stage. Frederic, our hero, is bound by duty and must abandon his new-found love, Mabel, to join the pirate trade. Alas and alack! Must he truly lose Mabel, or can he find a way out of this frivolous conumdrum?

The Pirates of Penzance is a preposterous story full of sparkling music and fun (if silly) characters. It is great family entertainment and is suitable for all audiences.
