HMS Pinafore at Amherst Community Church

Gilbert and Sullivan’s comic operetta bubbles over with passionate duets, rattling patter songs, anthems, and hornpipes. The story is simple: Ambitious Captain Corcoran wants his daughter to marry Sir Joseph Porter, but Josephine has fallen in love with common sailor Ralph Rackstraw. Will she obey her heart, or her father? Will Ralph propose, or will Sir Joseph? The production is accompanied by a chamber orchestra.
