Oakton High School presents: Pirates of Penzance

Gilbert and Sullivan are the undisputed masters of comic operetta and the proud
parents of the modern musical. That their works are more in demand today than
when they were created over a century ago is ample proof of their lasting
brilliance. When the hero of THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE was but a boy, Frederick,
son of a wealthy 19th century man was to be apprenticed to a pilot, but due to a
hard-of-hearing nursery maid, was instead apprenticed to a pirate. Not just any
pirate, but the Pirate King, leader of the not-so-fierce "Pirates of Penzance".
Now that his indentures are over, Frederick's sense of duty calls him to rid the
seas of these rather simple ruffians. But will falling in love with the
General's daughter, Mabel, get in the way?? Tickets $8.00 pre-sale $10.00 at the
door.
