Directed by Lou J Stalsworth of Allentown, NJ, who last season directed "Amadeus," the Gilbert and Sullivan classic will begin rehearsals in October for January 2012 performances.Set and costume design are by Kate Pinner, also of Allentown. Music direction is under Laurie Gougher of Newtown, Pa.; lighting design by Robert Terrano of East Windsor. Choreography will be by Janell Byrne of Princeton.
