Audition Location: GPAC Studio, 116 East Main Street, Grand Prairie, 75050 - next door to the Uptown Theater
Rehearsals: April 25 – June 15: Monday-Thursday evenings in May. Some weekend afternoons beginning in June.A fresh take on one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s most popular comic operas, this updated version of “The Pirates of Penzance” took New York by storm when it premiered in Central Park in 1980, leading to a subsequent smash-hit Broadway run. Wacky, irreverent and as entertaining today as it was when it first opened in 1879, “The Pirates Of Penzance” spins a hilarious farce of sentimental pirates, bumbling policemen, dim-witted young lovers, dewy-eyed daughters and an eccentric Major-General, all morally bound to the often-ridiculous dictates of honor and duty.
Performances: June 16-19 & 23-26 (8 shows)
