Stowe Theatre Guild will be presenting the play 'The Pirates of Penzance' from Wednesday through Saturday nights, September 25 through October 12, 2013.
'The Pirates of Penzance' is one of the most revered projects of Gilbert and Sullivan. Centered around the main character of Frederic, a boy who was orphaned at the age of 8 and is apprenticing himself to a band of pirates. Based on pirate lore, he must apprentice himself until the age of 21. However, due to the technicality that he was born on February 29th in a leap year, he is told he must apprentice until the age of 63. Being an honest pirate, that is his intention and he asks for his beloved Mabel, the daughter of a modern Major General (my favorite song in the play!) to wait for him.
I have seen this play several times at various venues and it is always a pleasure. The pirates are so comical, I hope everyone can see it!
The Pirates of Penzance will be held at the Akeley Memorial Building located at 67 Main Street in beautiful Stowe, Vermont. Shows begin at 8 p.m. which leaves plenty of time for dinner beforehand at any of Stowe's many fantastic restaurants within walking distance of the theatre. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children and may be reserved by calling (802) 253-3961 or by emailing Tickets@StoweTheatre.com.
