Terrace Plaza Playhouse Presents PIRATES OF PENZANCE, 8/10-9/15

Terrace Plaza Playhouse presents PIRATES OF PENZANCE, August 10 – September 15, 2012, every Friday, Saturday and Monday evening at 7:30 PM.

Pirates of Penzance concerns Frederic, who, having completed his 21st year, is released from his apprenticeship to a band of tender-hearted pirates. He meets Mabel, the daughter of Major-General Stanley, and the two young people fall instantly in love. Frederic finds out, however, that he was born on 29 February, and so, technically, he only has a birthday each leap year . His apprenticeship indentures state that he remains apprenticed to the pirates until his 21st birthday, and so he must serve for another 63 years. Bound by his own sense of duty, Frederic's only solace is that Mabel agrees to wait for him faithfully.

Pirates was the fifth Gilbert and Sullivan collaboration and introduced the much-parodied Major-General's Song. The operetta was performed for a century by the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company in Britain

Jacci O. Florence directs the cast, featuring Kim Florence (Layton) as the Pirate King, Dee Pace (Willard) as Major-General Stanley, Scott Henderson (Logan), Daniel Sessions (Ogden) as Frederic, Emily Noyce (Clearfield), Kacee Hill (Layton) as Mabel and Rodney Carlson (Riverdale) as Sergeant.
