Coming Soon: The Pirates of Penzance

Here's a press release from ARTS about their next production, which promises to be a heck of  a lot of fun:

ARTS is doing Gilbert and Sullivan! Opening Next Week!

In our quest to try things we’ve never tried before, we’ll be performing The Pirates of Penzance. It’s an operetta, which means that most of the dialogue is actually sung.

The story concerns Frederic, who, having completed his 21st year, is released from his apprenticeship to a band of tender-hearted pirates. He meets Mabel, the daughter of Major-General Stanley, and the two young people fall instantly in love. Frederic finds out, however, that he was born on 29 February, and so, technically, he only has a birthday each leap year. His apprenticeship indentures state that he remains apprenticed to the pirates until his 21st birthday, and so he must serve for another 63 years. Bound by his own sense of duty, Frederic's only solace is that Mabel agrees to wait for him faithfully.

Full of British humor written decades before Monty Python and one of the silliest ARTS has ever produced. Bring someone with you who loves to laugh - or just needs to.

The Pirates of Penzance is being presented in the ARTS Renaissance Ballroom.
