Get ready to set sail for a topsy-turvy, high-seas adventure full of laughter, mischief, and music!

The Pirates of Penzance (a sparkling new family version by Douglas Carter Beane) is a playful, fast-paced adaptation of Gilbert and Sullivan’s beloved comic opera — made just right for young performers and audiences.

When Frederic, a young pirate-in-training, realizes he was mistakenly apprenticed to a band of silly (but surprisingly polite!) pirates, he’s eager to leave the crew and live an honest life. But his sense of duty keeps getting him into hilarious trouble — especially when he meets the beautiful Mabel and her very large family of sisters, all watched over by their bumbling but brave father, the Major-General!

Can Frederic keep his promise to the pirates and win Mabel’s heart? Will the Pirate King outsmart everyone? And will the Major-General finally get a moment of peace?

Join us for this world premiere edition created by Genesius Theatre, where the spirit of Gilbert and Sullivan’s topsy-turvy humor comes alive in a fun-filled musical adventure celebrating friendship, loyalty, and laughter!
