Artistic director Marc Deaton and musical director Nathaniel Baker will lead the performances.

"The Sorcerer" is a sweet love story about a young man who hires a sorcerer to brew a love potion that causes the villagers to fall in love with the first person they see, resulting in a comedy of mismatched lovers.

"Trial by Jury" is a one-act, comic operetta about a breach of marriage lawsuit.

The judge and British legal system are objects of light-hearted satire, and the plot is full of ludicrous twists and turns.
