Lamplighters Music Theatre Welcomes Return of H.M.S. PINAFORE, Beginning 7/31
Lamplighters Music Theatre has announced the return of H.M.S. Pinafore to their summer performance schedule, the timeless tale of a lowly sailor's love for his Captain's daughter, and their brave defiance of her arranged marriage to the haughty and buffoonish First Lord of the Admiralty.
Gilbert & Sullivan's first international sensation, and one of the most popular comic operettas ever written, pokes fun at patriotism, social class snobbery, and incompetence in high places. Written over 130 years ago but still completely relevant, full of fresh humor and memorable memories, H.M.S. Pinafore is yet more proof that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Phil Lowery, director of the Lamplighter's recent Candide will stage direct and David Möschler will make his Lamplighters music directing and conducting debut.
H.M.S. Pinafore will dock at the Lesher Center in Walnut Creek, Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, and at the Bankhead Theater in Livermore. Full details are posted at lamplighters.org/season/season.html. For further information call 415-227-4797 or email info@lamplighters.org.
