The Theatre & Choir Departments are excited to invite you to this year’s Musical performance of The Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert & Sullivan. The Pirates of Penzance is one of the most beloved works by the British duo whose comedic operettas paved the way for the performance genre that would eventually come to be known as Musical Theatre. The plot follows a love story between an unwilling pirate and the daughter of a British Major General. It is filled with catchy songs, fake mustaches and farcical plot twists. After missing out on a Musical last year, it has been incredibly rewarding bringing back this opportunity for our students as we continue to adapt to the ongoing construction process. We truly have some incredible singers and performers on this campus, and the Theatre & Choir students have learned a great deal from sharing a common performance goal. The Pirates of Penzanceperforms on February 3-4 at 7:00 PM. Tickets are $7 for Adults and $5 for Students & Seniors. Tickets will be available for purchase at the front desk starting Monday, January 30th.

The Cast & Crew is as follows:
