STAGE TUBE: Sneak Peek - Bristol Riverside Theatre's THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE

By:



Hilarity abounds in Gilbert & Sullivan's rollicking farce The Pirates of Penzance, running March 19-April 28, 2013, at Bristol Riverside Theatre in Bristol, PA, directed by Keith Baker. Watch a trailer for the show below!

This comic operetta about sentimental Pirates, bumbling policemen, dim-witted youth, wide-eyed daughters, and an eccentric Major-General, all morally bound to the often ridiculous-dictates of honor and duty, is full of wonderful music, comical paradox and sharp wit.

Since 1986, BRT has brought consistently acclaimed professional theatre to Bucks County and maintained a long-term commitment to finding and developing new plays. The theatre is the recipient of over 66 Barrymore Award nominations for Excellence in Theatre, given annually by the Theatre Alliance of Greater Philadelphia. In addition to its mainstage productions, the theatre serves as a cultural hub for the community, with such programs as children's theatre, community concerts and exhibitions of local visual arts. Currently under the direction of Artistic Director Keith Baker, Founding Director Susan D. Atkinson, and Managing Director, Amy Kaissar, BRT begins its 26th season.

For tickets and more information, visit brtstage.org or call the Box Office at 215-785-0100. Bristol Riverside Theatre is located at 120 Radcliffe Street in Bristol, PA.
