The Pirates of Penzance at Williamson County Performing Arts Center

Ahoy, mateys! Experience the charm of Gilbert & Sullivan's beloved operetta, "The Pirates of Penzance", as Franklin Light Opera returns to the WCPAC stage this September. Follow the adventures of young Frederic, a pirate apprentice torn between duty and love, alongside a colorful cast of rollicking pirates, beautiful maidens, and bumbling police. Filled with recognizable tunes such as "I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General", "Poor Wandering One", and "With Cat-Like Tread", the show promises laughter, romance and toe-tapping melodies sure to delight audiences of all ages. The production is directed by Christopher Cooper, with live musicians conducted by music director Makai Keur. The large cast features local talent and FLO's very first youth chorus will be making their debut with a preshow of sea shanties. Come dressed as a pirate for our costume contest at every performance! Support Franklin's very own opera company and reserve your seats today!
