"Trial by Jury" and "The Zoo" are two musical theatre gems by Gilbert & Sullivan / Sullivan & Rowe, each one-act long. Performances are March 8 - 24, Fridays & Saturdays at 8:00 pm, Sundays at 2:00 pm, and one Thursday (March 21) at 8:00 pm. The shows include a large cast, gorgeous costumes, stunning sets and live music by a 5-piece band.
TRIAL BY JURY finds a bride and her bridesmaids in court with a breach of promise of marriage suit against her former groom. The judge seems to have a bit of an eye for the bride, so how will the groom fare in this famous one act comedy, the first by Gilbert & Sullivan?
THE ZOO takes place in the London Zoo beside the Bear Pit, just outside of the refreshment stand. Two forlorn lovers, one Duke in disguise as a commoner in search of a virtuous lover, the object of his affection, and a retired grocer are the focus of this Sullivan-without-Gilbert one act. A long rope and the bear pit play an integral part in the fate of one of them.
