Blue Hill Troupe Presents Gilbert & Sullivan's "Iolanthe"

EVENT:

Twenty five years after being banished for marrying a mortal, the fairy Iolanthe returns, seeking protection for her son, who is half-fairy and half-mortal. Her Queen grants him a title in the House of Lords, but when he falls in love with the fetching young ward of the Lord Chancellor, Fairyland and Parliament nearly fall to pieces.

Every year since 1924, the Blue Hill Troupe has come together for a season of revelry celebrating its three great passions: Theater, Charity and Community. The Troupe’s efforts are rooted in a tradition of performing a Gilbert & Sullivan operetta, and the group also presents a musical theater production as well as a concert series.
