A delightful farce of a classic that is fun for all ages and beloved since its premiere in 1879. Gilbert and Sullivan’s The Pirates of Penzance is a rollicking, delightfully funny tale of a band of soft-tempered pirates. Mistakenly apprenticed to a band of pirates by his nursemaid Ruth at the age of eight, the handsome Frederic is now twenty-one and, though quite fond of the group of joyous and fun-loving pirates, virtuously chooses to abandon his profession, dedicating himself instead to their eradication.

Park for free on Main Street and enjoy complimentary shuttle service.
