The Pirates Penzance at Gamut Theatre Group

Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance tells the story of Frederic, a contracted pirate apprentice, who leaves his band of pirates and falls in love with Mabel, the daughter of Major General Stanley. Joining with the local police force, Frederic plans to bring down the pirates. Those plans are halted, however, when it is revealed that Frederic neglected to read the fine print of his contract. Frederic must rejoin the pirates and enact revenge on the Major General. Will the pirates triumph? Or will the police force be able to stop them in time? The Pirates of Penzance boasts more memorable tunes than any other Gilbert & Sullivan show... including some that you may not realize you already know... Taking jabs at the military, policemen, the conventions of grand opera, and people in high places who don’t deserve to be there, The Pirates of Penzance is sure to keep you laughing and singing well after the show is over!
