THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE
about
this show
Witty, whimsical, and delightfully over-the-top, The Pirates of Penzance is a comic operetta brimming with clever wordplay and unforgettable melodies. Featuring bumbling pirates, star-crossed lovers, and a hilariously peculiar sense of duty, this Gilbert and Sullivan favorite is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud adventure for all ages.
Running Time: Approximately 2h 45m (includes intermission)
Content Advisory: This production has depictions of lightly staged violence and prejudicial persecution. Recommended for all audiences. We do encourage you to use your judgment based on your own research of the show, your own sensibilities, and a child’s age and maturity level.
No children under the age of 4 will be permitted in the theatre, including babies in arms.
