Walnut Creek: The Pirates of Penzance – Presented by Lamplighters Music Theatre
August 10 - August 11
Lamplighters remounts one of the most popular G&S operettas of all time—THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE. Directed by Bay Area favorite Michael Mohammed, this comic jewel is packed full of sentimental pirates, hopeless policemen, and over-the-top adventures.
Frederic, a pirate’s apprentice, looks forward to celebrating his 21st birthday with the end of his indenture to the Pirate King. Freed from his duty to his former comrades, and aided by the beautiful and plucky Mabel Stanley, her (very model of a) Major General father, and her many sisters, Frederic now feels called to avenge the infamous deeds of his former masters. But Frederic was born on February 29th, and he learns that his indenture lasts until his 21st birthday, not his 21st year. He still owes his life and his duty to his pirate brethren for another 63 years! Can Frederic fulfill his duty and still find love and happiness with Mabel?
approx. 2 hours 30 minutes, with one intermission.
