Presenting the 2013 Festival Season Share

Main Performance
THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE

Delight in an evening of sweet fun, wonderful wit, and unforgettable music. It’s the type of topsy-turvy that only the comic genius of Gilbert and Sullivan can invent. Frederic has been inadvertently apprenticed to a band of warmhearted orphaned pirates. At twenty-one, he is freed of his duty to the pirates, but  adventure follows him as soon as he steps ashore. Soon a bumbling police raid, the accident of leap year, and true love lead him to become hopelessly entangled with his old pirate friends — who have dastardly designs to return him to a life of plunder.

Jump aboard for a hilarious voyage — perfect for audiences of all ages!
