On Stage Next Weekend - "Pirates of Penzance"

After a bit of a dry spell for local theatre (that's January for you), things are going to start hopping next weekend.

My pal Marina Jurica sends along this information about one of my all-time favorite musicals:

I just wanted to let you know that the Charleston Light Opera Guild is opening Gilbert & Sullivan’s Pirate of Penzance on January 29 through February 7!

Performances are Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. at the Light Opera Guild Theater on the corner of Tennessee Avenue and Roane Street in West Charleston.

Tickets are $15 and it is festival seating. The box office number is 304-342-9312 and for more info go to www.charlestonlightoperaguild.org.

For the group of us who went to HMS Pinafore last year we came 30 minutes early and barely got seats since it is a smaller theater! The cast is really wonderful and is has been a great show to be a part of - I am playing the part of Mabel. Hope you and many others can make it!

It's a great show, and I'm really looking forward to seeing it! Highly recommended!
