MONMOUTH — Gilbert & Sullivan’s musical “The Pirates of Penzance,” will be the performed as the Theater at Monmouth’s fall show, running Thursday, Sept. 13 through Sunday, Sept. 23.
Long before there was “Pirates of the Caribbean,” Gilbert and Sullivan had disembarked their toe-tapping, tongue-twisting, titillating farce packed full of sentimental pirates, bumbling British bobbies, and improbable paradoxes. Frederic’s in search of a wife, and a wife he thinks he’s ound with Mabel. Just one problem, she’s the daughter of the Major-General and he hates pirates. Though dead-set to join the police force keeping the pirates in check, Frederic finds himself out of a job and in with the wrong crowd. That’s the catch when your indentured servant contract says you’ll be released on your 21st birthday and you’re born on a leap year.
Since its inception, “The Pirates of Penzance” has been a Gilbert & Sullivan favorite among theater producers and audiences. Since its premiere in 1879, it has had more than 40 major revivals in New York City alone.
“Pirates of Penzance” features Billy Hutto as Frederic; Laura Whittenberger as Mabel; Candice Handy as Pirate King; John Anker Bow as Major General Stanley; Caitlin Diana Doyle as Ruth/ Isabelle; Trevor Latez Hayes as Samuel; Mark Cooper as Sergeant; Karen Lipovsky as Edith; Mackenzie Richard as Kate. Set design by Rew Tippin, costume design by Michelle Handley, lighting design by Jim Alexander, Props by Rebecca Richards, and music direction by Rebecca Caron.
