Launch your holidays by celebrating a beloved model of a modern major comedic opera with Quintessence Theatre’s presentation of The Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert & Sullivan! On his 21st birthday, a dashing young pirate apprentice prepares to finally be freed from servitude. Arriving back on land for the first time, he plans to live a dutiful and honorable adulthood. But there’s a snag - check his birth certificate! A bevy of local beauties, conscientious pirates and their King, a wily and witty old waiting-woman, an incompetent madcap Major General, a troop of troglodyte policemen, and a parade of ingenious paradoxes all portend to make Quintessence a delightful winter destination! 

 

Group, senior, military, industry, and rush discounts are available based on performance and availability.
