H.M.S. Pinafore at Snow College Theatre

H.M.S. Pinafore is a classic comic operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan that satirizes British social class and naval hierarchy with wit and charm. Set aboard the Royal Navy ship H.M.S. Pinafore, the story follows the romance between lowly sailor Ralph Rackstraw and the captain’s daughter, Josephine—who is expected to marry the pompous Sir Joseph Porter. With mistaken identities, clever wordplay, and lively music, H.M.S. Pinafore is a delightful and enduring tale of love, duty, and the topsy-turvy world of Victorian society.
