Summer Production
THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE
Music by Arthur Sullivan
Libretto by W. S. Gilbert
Adapted & Directed by: Clara Barton Green
Musical Direction by: David Zimmerman
Choreography by: Susan Mitchell

A BEACH. A SHIP. LUSTY PIRATES.
BEAUTIFUL MAIDENS. YOU DO THE MATH.
THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE, or The Slave of Duty, is the story of Frederic, who,
having completed his 21st year, is released from his apprenticeship to a band of
tender-hearted pirates. Upon his release he meets and falls in love with Mabel, the
daughter of Major-General Stanley, and shortly thereafter finds out that due to a
trick clause in his apprenticeship, he has actually not been released from his
indentures. Will Frederic betray his new-found love in favor of his duty? And what of
the pirates who are plotting revenge against the Major-General for having cheated
them out of plunder?
