 The Pirates of Penzance

Sept 27-29 & Oct 3-6, 2013
Music by Arthur Sullivan; Libretto by W.S. Gilbert
Directed by Penny Cullers
Having turned 21, Frederic is released from his apprenticeship to a band of pirates. He meets Mabel, a Major-General's daughter, and the two fall instantly in love. However, it turns out that Frederic was born on 29 February, and so, technically, only has a birthday each leap year. Since he must remain an apprentice until his 21st birthday, he must serve for another 63 years. Frederic's only solace is that Mabel agrees to wait for him faithfully.

Auditions: July 29-30 7-9pm

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat


Apr 25-27 & May 1-4, 2014
Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber; Lyrics by Tim Rice
Directed by Fred Burrack
Based on the "coat of many colors" story of Joseph from the Bible's Book of Genesis, the musical tells the story of Joseph, son of Jacob. The favored son, he is betrayed by his jealous brothers and sold into slavery and driven to Egypt. Though beset with adversity, Joseph perseveres through wit and faith and becomes the governor of Egypt, second only to the Pharaoh. This all sets the scene for when he meets his brothers who have come to Egypt to purchase food. Its family-friendly storyline, universal themes and catchy music have made it extremely popular with audiences and performers alike.

Auditions: Mar 3-4 7-9pm
