The Pirates of Penzance
Talk like a pirate with us this winter as we set sail with one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s most popular comic operas, The Pirates of Penzance! In addition to a whacky band of swashbuckling buccaneers, this hilarious musical farce features conflicted orphans, maidens in distress, cowardly cops, the very model of a modern major general, and so much more! Join us this season as we apply a fresh coat of paint to this classic musical adventure!
