THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE<\/h2>\n

April 29 – May 14, 2022
\nBy Gilbert and Sullivan
\nDirected by Paige Fossheim, Music Direction by Winnifred Hume, Choreography by Karen Iwanski<\/p>\n

Strike up the band for one of Gilbert and Sullivan\u2019s most beloved operettas! The Pirates of Penzance combines whimsy, light-hearted satire and piratical characters with stirring music, including the iconic \u201cMajor-General\u2019s Song\u201d. This is the play that cemented the comic-pirate theme in popular culture, a theme that has lasted through more than a century and spawned countless movies and novels. Jam-packed with sentimental, swashbuckling pirates, a completely dotty Major General and a bumbling bunch of hopeless but hilarious policemen, what could possibly go wrong?\u00a0 To add to the topsy-turvy nature of G&S, Morpheus will be flipping the genders of all your favourite characters.<\/p>\n
