Set sail for an evening of raucous adventure and rollicking laughter as Grossmont College Theatre Arts presents "The Pirates of Penzance!" This timeless comic opera by W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan will sweep audiences off their feet with its infectious melodies, zany characters, and madcap wit. Directed and choreographed by Melissa Glasgow, with musical direction by Patrick Marion, "The Pirates of Penzance" will run March 20-27 at Grossmont College’s Performing & Visual Arts Center Stage. The production brings a fresh, dynamic energy to this beloved classic while honoring the rich tradition of Gilbert and Sullivan’s razor-sharp satire and high-spirited hijinks. "The Pirates of Penzance" follows the story of Frederic, a young man mistakenly apprenticed to a band of soft-hearted pirates. As he completes his term of service, he vows to dedicate himself to eradicating piracy—until a technicality binds him to the pirates indefinitely. Along the way, he encounters the beautiful Mabel, her eccentric father, Major-General Stanley, and a bumbling squad of police officers who are more charming than effective. What ensues is a delightful blend of romance, mistaken identity, and uproarious wordplay that has delighted audiences for over a century. “We are thrilled to bring this spirited, sidesplitting production to our audiences,” says director Melissa Glasgow. “With its unforgettable music, clever lyrics, and uproarious antics, “The Pirates of Penzance” is a theatrical treat for all ages.” The stellar cast features: Izzy Newman as Mabel, Drew Low as Frederic, Erica Rose as Ruth, Cameron Avendano as the Pirate King, Kaylee Kloberdanz as the Major General, Ryan Robbins as the Sergeant of Police, Iker Leal as Samuel (u/s Frederic), London Smith as Edith, Lizzie Cisneros as Kate (u/s Ruth), and Prizzy Rogers as Isabel.
