Ahoy, mateys! This wacky high-seas Britcom has spelled family fun since the Victorian era. Join the most unlikely band of pirates ever known as they sail through the clever wordplay and infectiously merry music Gilbert & Sullivan are known for! Hum along (in your head, at least!) with the famous melodies and set your phasers on pun. This madcap gem guarantees you’ll leave the theater singing! Parrot and eye patch optional, but do dress up if you’re inspirrrrred! (We arrrrrgh!)

By Arthur Sullivan / Libretto by W. S. Gilbert

Directed by John Hoomes
