Gilbert and Sullivan’s comedic operetta of sentimental pirates, bumbling policemen, dim-witted young lovers and an eccentric Major-General.
Pirates follows young Frederic, an orphan who has mistakenly been apprenticed to an ineffectual but raucous band of pirates. He disavows the pirates’ way of life and falls for the beautiful Mabel. Frederic’s melodious tones win over the heart of Major-General Stanley’s songbird daughter, Mabel, but when the Pirate King discovers that General Stanley has lied about being an orphan to keep the pirates from stealing all his belongings and carrying off his bevy of beautiful daughters, an “ingenious paradox” may prevent the budding romance and lead to the death of “The very model of a modern Major-General.” Suitable for ages 6 and older
All shows are presented at the Lyceum Theater located on the Vanguard University campus off Newport Boulevard. Ticket prices are $19 for general admission and $15 for seniors and college students and children (plus $1 service charge).
