BWW Review: H.M.S. PINAFORE at Hillcrest Theater For The Arts
by Cary Ginell - Oct 15, 2015
Gilbert and Sullivan's comic operetta, 'H.M.S. Pinafore,' made its debut last weekend at the Hillcrest Center for the Arts, and for all intents and purposes, it was just another in a long line of highly entertaining shows staged by the venerable Ventura County Gilbert & Sullivan Repertoire Company. But for one of its performers, this 'Pinafore' was not just another production. It marked the satisfying of a lifelong dream for 68-year-old David Gilchrist, who plays the part of Sir Joseph Porter.
