Prepare to be amazed by the energy, enthusiasm and talent that we see every year in our annual Festival Youth Production.
The Pirates of Penzance is a swashbuckling tale awash with tender-hearted, hapless Pirates, bumbling, blundering policemen, a Major General, his large family of unwed daughters and the handsome Frederic who was apprenticed to the Pirates as a child until his 21st birthday. The show opens as Frederic is celebrating his freedom and his return to respectable society, but by a cruel twist of fate, his birthday just happens to be on February 29th, a leap year. Technically he is really only five years old and will not reach his 21st birthday until he is in his eighties, so it’s back to the Pirate ship for poor Frederic and he must leave his beautiful Mabel behind.
This is certainly one evening not to miss.
