Original Script & Music by Gilbert & SullivanPerformed by 44 talented young actors.

This is a delightful farce about a softhearted band of Pirates who will give way to anyone claiming that they are an orphan because they themselves are orphans. Famous for this weakness, they are always confronted by entire ships of "orphans!"

This version is much shorter and is one third music with two thirds dialogue. This makes it more interesting and accessible to young actors and audiences who otherwise may not get exposed to these wonderful works of art.
Adults $8.00, Children 12 and under $5.00, Students and Seniors $6.00. Thursday, March 5 Preview Performance - All Seats $5.00
