Theater at Washington and Lee

The Pirates of Penzance

A Gilbert and Sullivan Comic Opera

Direction by J.D. Martinez
Musical direction by Jerry Myers

A joint music and theater musical production. Wacky, irreverent and as entertaining today as it was when it first opened in 1879, The Pirates Of Penzance spins an hilarious farce of sentimental pirates, bumbling policemen, dim-witted young lovers, dewy-eyed daughters and an eccentric Major-General, all morally bound to the often-ridiculous dictates of honor and duty. Performed in agreement with Music Theatre International.

Tickets are required.

Inaugural production supported by the Robert O. and Elizabeth Bentley Endowment for the Performing Arts
