Patience at Nancy O'Brian Center for the Performing Arts

Patience is a comic operetta by W. S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan that affectionately satirizes celebrity culture, artistic trends, and the pursuit of fashionable ideals. The story follows Patience, a sincere young milkmaid caught between two rival poets: the flamboyant self-promoter Reginald Bunthorne and the genuinely admired Archibald Grosvenor. The cast is led by Christen May Meyer as Patience, Taylor Reich as Reginald Bunthorne, and Kacey Dillon Yeargain as Archibald Grosvenor, with direction by Nicholas Bartell, musical direction by Kevin W. Smith, choreography by Kassie Carroll Downey, and conducting by Mason Smith.
